SOME AMERICAN PEOPLE

News EN ↓ 45 episodes

Many politicians like to refer to the opinions of “the American people” as if we are some monolithic group, and we all agree with the speaker; obviously neither are true. A more reality-based discussion would recognize and respect that we are 300+ million people with different experiences, perspectives, and opinions. Towards that end I speak with SOME AMERICAN PEOPLE about what they think are the three most important issues in our country today, how well our elected leaders are addressing those issues, and what they, and we, could be doing better.
