68. Is Our Democracy Failing Because We’re Not Thinking Enough? - James Fishkin
Manage episode 496092163 series 3418004
Is democracy failing because citizens aren’t truly thinking through the issues?
In this episode, we hear from Prof. James Fishkin, Stanford scholar and creator of Deliberative Polling, a groundbreaking method used around the world to reveal what people would think if they had the chance to deliberate in depth.
Fishkin explains why deliberation is about more than civil conversation. It’s about helping ordinary people make better decisions on complex policy questions. Discover how projects like America in One Room prove citizens can engage thoughtfully, bridge divides, and shape smarter policies.
