Melissa Ballard, Diana Roy, and Cameron Vaské explore the democratic decay at the heart of American politics that needs addressing before the United States can truly embark a period of democratic renewal. Their search quickly leads them to the two-party system, the incentives-based structure of getting elected, and the vicious cycle of media and governmental distrust that this breeds.
