Ep 26: Election Fixing-No Blacks, No Irish, No Democracy
Manage episode 320370155 series 2975966
In this episode, we talk about the founding of American "democracy", Irish partition and how supremacists states stack the deck against groups seen as neither fully a citizen nor human. In America it was black people, in Ireland it was Catholics.
We give an overview of Gerrymandering and how it works, keeping minority governments in power even when their opponents have more votes!
