Voting Wrap-Up: The System Is Broken & We’re Done Pretending (Full)

Solving America's Problems · Jan 3, 2026 · 54m · transcript

Final episode of the voting series and it’s a banger. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley go full send on gerrymandering’s death grip (87% of seats pre-rigged), why turnout is trash, and the fixes they’ve flipped on hard—like ranked-choice voting and national voting holidays. Zero cope, total rage, and a hard look at whether trust in this mess can ever come back. If you only listen to one voting ep, make it the one where they stop holding back.
