Deep dives
Fixing American Democracy
Andrew Yang discusses the need to fix American democracy and introduces his moonshot of reforming the system. He highlights the dysfunctional nature of the two-party system, where politicians prioritize their own interests rather than solving problems effectively. He proposes getting rid of party primaries in states and moving towards an all-party primary system, where candidates from different parties compete in the same primary, followed by ranked choice voting in the general election. Alaska and Nevada have already implemented similar systems with positive results.
