Vinz Koller: How to Repair Democracy Now

Dastardly Cleverness in the Service of Good

American democracy is more fragile than many of us ever imagined. But we’ve been neglecting and abusing it so much that maybe the bigger surprise is that it’s lasted as long as it has.

A lot of that damage can still be fixed, though—as long as we don’t let the whole thing fall apart first.

Spencer's guest Vinz Koller has great insights on what's gone wrong and how we can repair it. Vinz is a political scientist who advises governments on effective policy. He’s long been active in politics, working on multiple national and local campaigns. And he’s been a member of the Electoral College three times for California’s 20th Congressional District.

Vinz sees all too clearly how bad things have gotten—but the solutions he proposes offer real hope.
