Make the Biggest Cities into States | SFM Episode 6

American democracy is … busted.

The Electoral congress, the Supreme Court, a gerrymandered House of Representatives, the filibuster in the Senate. No matter your politics, it is a fact that all of these institutions are non-democratic—they don't reflect the will of the majority of Americans. They enable a small, vocal, well-organized minority to tyrannize over the majority of folks.

We've got big problems, which sometimes require big solutions. There are lots of solutions bandied about on how to make America a democracy again, but we think you will not have heard this one.
