DOCUMENTARY - America on the Knife’s Edge

In this special documentary-style episode of the Outrage Overload podcast, we look at the world of electoral politics and the challenges of close elections. Drawing inspiration from the movie "Swing Vote" and real-life insights from history, political science, and contemporary discourse, we explore the trend of close elections and the implications of razor-thin margins. We discuss the importance of understanding how democracy works, the role of swing voters, and the impact of affective political polarization. The episode also examines the dangers of undemocratic takeovers and the need for compromise and cooperation in a divided society.

I hope you enjoy this first of a kind episode on the Outrage Overload podcast. We hope to do more of these documentary-style episodes in the future and we really appreciate your feedback.
