What if America’s political dysfunction isn’t inevitable—but a design flaw? In this episode of Nerds for Humanity, I sit down with Alana Rush, an Irish-American political organizer reporting live from Dublin, to unpack what the U.S. could learn from Ireland’s 100-year experiment with ranked choice voting and proportional representation. We explore how this system transforms campaigning, lowers polarization, increases accountability, and produces governments that actually reflect the electorate. Alana also shares how Irish voters see America’s global role, from Gaza and Ukraine to growing concerns about U.S. instability and unpredictability. A must-listen for political junkies who still believe reform is possible.
