Democracy Is Troublingly Fragile

A chat with Ian Bassin.

Joe and Elie chat with Ian Bassin, the Executive Director of Protect Democracy about the unfortunately pressing task of defending democratic institutions from creeping authoritarianism. Protect Democracy is on the front lines, challenging both federal and state governments as they chip away at participatory democracy and constitutional limits. As a special bonus — in the middle of the episode breaking news results in the guest beginning the process of filing suit on the spot. So that’s cool.
