What Could Possibly Go Right? #24 Thom Hartmann: Democracy is Not a Spectator Sport
For more than a decade, Thom Hartmann has been the #1 progressive talk show host in the United States. His show, The Hartmann Report, is aired on hundreds of radio and television stations across the country. He is also a New York Times best-selling author of 24 books and the founder of numerous commercial and charitable organizations.
Recorded in the lead up to the US presidential election, Thom shares his thoughts on What Could Possibly Go Right? including:
- The Supreme Court decisions in the 1970s that paved the way for corporate money to influence political parties for decades since.
- The more obvious use of voter suppression as a tactic in this year’s election.
- The coalitions that exist in each party and how they interact.
- The “general misapprehension of the role of a politician, even among some politicians”.
- The “great man theory of history” doesn’t serve us well and we should look to elect towards a movement, rather than individual leader.
- That “democracy is not a spectator sport. It's about all of us getting involved, that everybody needs to get active and, Tag. You're it!"
