Two-Party Problems

On The Gist, Hawaii's "laze" is some seriously bad branding. In the interview, our two-party system may seem inevitable, but political scientist Sam Rosenfeld digs into its engineered history, including the 1950 government report that pushed the country "Toward a More Responsible Two-Party System." Before then, what you thought about health care, guns, or abortion had little to do with where your vote went. Rosenfeld is the author of The Polarizers: Postwar Architects of Our Partisan Era. In the Spiel, the latest school shooter didn't raise any red flags or wield an AR-15. But gun control is still what we need. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
