Sharon and Dax talk about the different types of democracies, the importance of constructively challenging other’s ideas, and how dangerous it can be to have blind allegiance to a party. Sharon explains why some people may feel burned out by politics, the problems with proportional representation, and the value of having multiple political parties.
