The Hopeful Strategy for Democracy Reform

A central focus of the discussion is the grassroots efforts led by organizations like American Promise to amend the Constitution and combat the influence of Super PACs in American politics. American Promise aims to rally ordinary citizens on a state-by-state basis, creating movements designed to pressure politicians to call for a constitutional amendment. This strategy is seen as healthy and hopeful for democracy reform, as it emphasizes the collective power of regular citizens rather than relying solely on elite voices or large donations. Such an approach could create a renewed sense of democratic engagement and accountability, moving away from the predominant influence of a wealthy few.
