Is the US political system actually broken or just working as designed?
In short: Business leader Katherine Gehl argues that the perceived dysfunction in US politics is actually the system functioning exactly as intended. This video explores how specific voting innovations could incentivize progress over reelection.
Katherine Gehl suggests that the US political system is not broken, but is instead operating according to its original design. By examining the structure through a nonpartisan lens, she argues that the current setup prioritizes reelection over actual solutions.
To fix this, Gehl advocates for implementing voting innovations—some of which are already used in parts of the country—to provide citizens with more choice and encourage politicians to focus on progress.
