I appreciate this group’s analysis, as it seeks to understand our political culture dispassionately and not to fan the outrage we see in shoddy and “clickbait” journalism.
Apple Podcasts5MimiWujUnited States3 years ago While the podcast purportedly is about democracy as an institution, it really is nothing other than a exercise in reducing all of political science to Trump. Considering these are acedemics at Penn, it makes me worry about political science if this presestism is the whole of the field now. being that most of the analysis isn't even based is history more than the last news cycle, it is really just a pundit pod. That's fine, it's just not about 'Democracy'.
