EP 77: Tyranny of the Minority: Cracks in American Democracy and How It Can Be Fixed

American democracy has a number of challenges as it approaches its 250th birthday in 2026. The US has one of hardest constitutions in the world to amend, and is the only country to use an electoral college vs popular vote to elect presidents as well as the only democratic nation to allow for lifetime appointments of federal judges. Add in the filibuster and a less and less representative US Senate, there are a number of antiquated systems that give power to the minority over the majority in America. In today’s episode we speak with author and government professor Steven Levitsky about his new book, Tyranny of the Minority. We dive into why we have the system we have, and potential solutions as we see cracks in American democracy in the aftermath of 2020 and the January 6 attack on the Capitol. **Mo News Premium For Members-Only Instagram, Private Podcast: (Click To Join)** — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
