Inside Political Science #032 – Ballots Instead of Bullets

With recent events in America, many people are questioning the American system. Kirby and Todd sit down with Texas A&M Visiting Professor Clifford Young to weigh in on the current state of the country and possible solutions to political challenges. The three discuss how, as satisfaction levels of democracy have decreased, so has political unification. Is the increase in political violence and extremism because of U.S. leaders? Cliff believes the world should have leaders who don’t add fuel to the fire. As educators, their ultimate goal is to provide students with frameworks to make sense of the world. Join the conversation and ease your anxiety with Kirby, Todd, and Cliff as they give context to the political concerns in America.
