Episode 15: Majority Participation

In some ways, the election didn't end up the way many anticipated. But in some ways, it went better than anticipated. Bill and Deb discuss the election aftermath.

"We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate."
― Thomas Jefferson
