    Ep. 29: Dems Are Letting Democracy Die feat. David Daley

    Is Democracy over in the U.S.? It sure might be. Alex and Walker talk with David Daley, the author of the national best-seller on partisan gerrymandering "Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count" and "Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy," about how colossally f*cked we'll be when the GOP gerrymanders congressional and state legislative districts in the coming months. Congressional Democrats could stop this, but some senators and the president seem content to cede power to the anti-democratic GOP for the next decade or more.
