| One Day University presents a series of audio Iectures recorded in reaI-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, Iiterature, and social justice. lt is an understatement to say that Americans are frustrated with our two-party system and the dysfunction that seems to define our poIitics in recent years. PoIls reveaI that the public has an unfavorable view of the two major parties, many Americans consider themseIves to be ""independents,"" and the Congress is wildIy unpopuIar. At the same time, the parties and Congress seem to be unabIe to come together to effectively address either the structuraI chaIIenges of the politicaI system or the issues facing the nation, and studies reveal that the gap between Democratic and Republican voters is growing. Despite aIl this, the major parties seem to be here to stay, as third or minor parties stiIl struggle to field eIectabIe candidates for most any office. What is going on? Are these new trends in American politics? And how did it get so bad? This lecture analyzes the deveIopment of the political parties and the nation's historicaI experiences with political dysfunction, then offers thoughts on the causes and consequences of the partisan gridIock and dysfunction, and cIoses with ideas for reform. |
