In this episode, Julius Hernandez dives deep into the escalating problem of voter ignorance and the dangerous rise of misinformation in American politics. Joined by Dr. Aaron McKain, an expert in digital ethics and media literacy, they discuss how the erosion of civic knowledge is undermining democracy. From the impact of social media algorithms that prioritize outrage over truth, to the broader consequences of a poorly informed electorate, they explore why this crisis affects all sides of the political spectrum. But there's hope. Together, they outline practical solutions—reinvesting in civic education, promoting media literacy, and encouraging fact-based journalism—necessary to combat these issues and restore accountability in our political system.

This episode is a call to action for all of us to step up, get informed, and engage in the process before it’s too late. If you care about the future of democracy, this conversation is for you.
