The Founding Fathers were aware that yawning gaps between rich and poor destabilize a society.

35:13

In other democracies, when a party wins an election it wins all the power. But American democracy is different, and under the Constitution, members of Congress are supposed to engage in cross-partisan bargaining—yet they’re failing at this very basic job. What we’re left with are spending bills finalized at midnight before a government shutdown, and party line votes that are undone by other party line votes. Yuval Levin joins John to discuss some remedies: expanding the number of House members, re-empowering committees to reduce some of the leadership’s power, and using rank-choice voting to get the kind of candidates who bargain and build coalitions.…

Plus, expect corruption, but let’s not let them get away with it. show notes Anne's "Twilight of Democracy" and "Autocracy, Inc." Anne's piece on the new Rasputins…

Linda Chavez joins John Avlon to break it all down. show notes: Linda's book, "Out of the Barrio" Other sources of information on border security and immigration: https://immigrationforum.org/ https://www.brookings.edu/ https://www.pewresearch.org/…
