Episode description

We discuss why the American electorate voted the way they did in 2024, the history of various voter suppression tactics, and how we can bounce back from a feeling of post-election civic helplessness.

Michael’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Use your platform!

2. Do the research. Read books. Go deep on what's going on and convey what you've learned.

Michael Waldman is the CEO and President of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law and a constitutional lawyer and writer who is an expert on the presidency and American democracy.
