Manage episode 237883225 series 2284172
Originally broadcast in May 2019, this episode has a new introduction, with an update on the implications of the recent Supreme Court decision on partisan gerrymandering.
The United States is a pretty divided country; which may just feel like an inevitable product of our times.

Has our democracy crossed a line? And if it has, what is to be done?
