Deep dives

The Flaws of the Two-Party System

The current two-party system in the United States is criticized for failing to represent the interests of young people, who are particularly vulnerable in today's predatory economy. This system limits choices for voters, forcing them to select between what many perceive as two lesser evils. The result is a populace that feels disenfranchised, especially as issues like healthcare access, housing affordability, and job security persist without meaningful reform. The podcast highlights the urgent need for a political alternative that genuinely addresses the needs and rights of everyday Americans.
