Who REALLY Holds Power in America
America isn’t a direct democracy — and Chris Cuomo wants to explain why that distinction matters. In this episode, he breaks down the difference between a constitutional republic and majority rule, showing how the structure of the Senate and Electoral College give disproportionate power to smaller states. He highlights how one-third of the U.S. population controls half the Senate and explores how this imbalance shapes our politics.
Chris examines how America’s system was originally designed to protect minorities but now enables fringe interests to dominate national debate. From social media algorithms to gerrymandering, he argues the few often overpower the concerns of the many. Along the way, he critiques hot-take culture, recalls the fight over Obamacare, and questions how both left- and right-wing populist movements exploit discontent.
