Episode 13.5 – Better Representation
For too long, America’s politics have been locked in a two-party chokehold, leaving millions of voices unheard. In this episode, we break down how gerrymandering, broken district lines, and entrenched party power distort democracy—and how proportional representation could open the door to more parties, fairer elections, and a government that actually reflects the people.

We’ll explore European-style parliaments, the Sainte-Laguë method of proportional seats, and bold reforms like adding a third chamber of Congress with generational representation. Then, we’ll dig into solutions: term limits, strict anti-corruption rules, and conditional amendments that could rebalance power for the long run.

This isn’t just theory—it’s a blueprint for a brighter political future where self-interest is checked and the people’s voice is amplified.

👉 Tune in if you’re ready to rethink democracy, challenge the status quo, and imagine a system that truly delivers better representation.
