Episode Synopsis

Welcome to: Does Democracy Work? A Conversation With MiVote Founder & Chairman Adam Jacoby


🧔🏻 Adam Jacoby, Founder & Chairman of MiVote



What we talk about:


00:00 - US & Democratic Process MiVote Founder Adam Jacoby and me, we're talking about the democratic system and the communication between voters and politicians. Adam tells us that just because we have an election, does not mean that we are living in a democracy. He questions how, for example, how a bi-partisan political system can actually ensure that the needs of the population are catered for.

08:55 - Political Apathy & Outrage The main problem seems to be that the political system and politicians display the disability to really listen to the people. Polls are based on too few choices, created by a preconceived base. There is a huge need to educate and communicate better between voters and the political system. Many people cast their votes based on family traditions, some opinion leader in their friendship group, or their short-term needs, such as tax affecting their pay wallets directly.

18:54 - What is MiVote?
