The amazing Heather Cox Richardson jumped straight in with a slew of tough, interesting questions about our institutions, why they’re the way they are, and whether they can be changed/improved within the constraints of the Constitution. I love a conversation that makes me think, and this one did. It’s one of my favorites so far, as I continue sharing my new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy, with you.
If you’re looking for optimism—the real kind, grounded in an understanding of history and the law—this conversation is for you. We can’t afford to sugarcoat the problems our country faces. We can’t afford to look away and hope someone else will fix it for us. But we can learn. That’s the first step toward acting as a community of democracy-loving people who are prepared for what’s ahead. As I wrote in the book: “We have a Republic to keep, and we are not quitters.”
We’re in this together,
Joyce
