In this episode, Mike and I tackle one of the biggest questions heading into the 2024 election: Is America’s democracy in decline? We explore the wild swings in polling, with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump constantly shifting leads, and dig into how much of this election is being driven by emotions rather than policies. From the economy to immigration, we break down what’s really motivating voters and how the candidates are trying to manipulate public sentiment. We also discuss the Biden administration's foreign policy, especially regarding rising tensions in the Middle East. With U.S. troops being sent to Israel and the situation escalating with Hezbollah, we explore how America's role on the global stage is affecting domestic voters. Is America leading with strength, or is the administration’s lack of diplomacy putting the country at greater risk? Beyond the election, we examine corporate influence, the rise of automation, and how these factors are shaping the political landscape. We dig into FEMA’s budget controversy, Elon Musk’s political battles, and how American institutions are being tested in ways we’ve never seen before. Join us as we question whether America’s democracy is failing—and what can be done about it. We are also on YouTube and Apple Podcasts!
