The Breakdown with Shaun King

Ep. 765 - If I could have just one wish in politics it would be this...


Listen Later

As the United States continues the march toward having 400 million people, we are still stuck with an antiquated 2 party system that was created hundreds of years ago.

Do you know how many people lived in this country in 1776? 2.5 million people.

Cramming 400 million into 2 political parties is preposterous. And it's why almost every developed democracy around the world has at least 4, but sometimes has 10-15 parties - all with members in their congress.

If we just had 4 parties, it would at least be a start of more people feeling like they have true political representation.

Let me unpack and explain it.
