Topic: U.S. political system
“Our political system is structured in ways that mute moderates’ voices and block access to the middle of the road. The result: Three consecutive elections have produced large shifts in the balance of political power, but public satisfaction with our civic condition has hardly budged. Trust in government remains near all-time lows, and the share of Americans saying that the country is heading in the right direction has declined in eight of the past 10 years.”
