Voting on Your Phone: The Idea That Could Fix Elections | Bradley Tusk

Are we still going to be one country in 20 years?

In this episode, Jamie sits down with investor, political strategist, and author Bradley Tusk to unpack the forces reshaping America — from political extremism and wealth inequality to AI-driven job displacement and the future of democracy itself.

Bradley is the founder of Tusk Ventures, creator of the Mobile Voting Project, former Deputy Governor of Illinois, and author of Vote With Your Phone. He’s worked with leaders like Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Yang, and Chuck Schumer — and has spent decades operating at the intersection of politics, technology, and power.

This conversation covers:

• Why low primary turnout empowers political extremists

• How mobile voting could change the structure of American democracy

• The rise of the “Radical Rest” — and why our institutions are failing most Americans

• Why 1% controlling 31% of the wealth is unsustainable

• Whether we’re “asking for a French Revolution”

• How AI could double U.S. energy consumption

• Why data centers may raise your electricity bill

• The coming wave of job displacement

• Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a response to automation

• Whether AI will concentrate power and wealth even further

From the future of elections to the future of work, this episode asks the uncomfortable question:

Are our institutions serving the public — or themselves?

If you care about democracy reform, wealth inequality, AI policy, UBI, mobile voting, climate solutions, or the future of American governance, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
