Listen "America Votes; Democracy Wins (Maybe)"
Episode Synopsis
The US mid-term elections are (almost) over. Perhaps most importantly, after the turmoil of the last election cycle, in almost all cases voters voted, ballots were counted, winners celebrated and losers conceded. In other words, American democracy demonstrated resilience.
But is it too early to say that democracy has healed itself? Is the absence of wild allegations of fraud too low a bar for a country that likes to think of itself as the gold standard for representative democracy?
We invited Richard Gephardt, former Democratic congressman, and long-time party leader, and Scott Miller, one of America's most successful political strategists, to sift through the evidence and speculate on the future of democracy in America.
