Is America Too Broken to Fix?

Is America Too Broken to Fix?

Michael breaks down today's poll question: Do you think America's political system can still address the nation's problems or is it too politically divided to solve its problems? He compares his audience’s response to recent New York Times data, explores the roots of our division, and shares shocking stats — like why only 28% of Americans trust the media and why 3 in 10 think political violence may be necessary. Plus, what really drives extremism in U.S. politics and how we might start fixing it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
