In the face of increasing polarization in the United States, cooperation among U.S. politicians has become more infrequent. Today, U.S. politicians seem to care more about catering to the bases within the two-party system than they do about working together for the country�s common good.
Take a deep dive into the U.S. electoral system and how it pushes politicians in both parties toward ideological extremes. Before his 2018 run for U.S. Senate, Moderator Neal Simon (YPO Gold US Capital) led several businesses. He is the author of Contract to Unite America: Ten Reforms to Reclaim Our Republic. Panelists include; Katherine Gehl, founder of The Institute for Political Innovation, a nonpartisan nonprofit founded in 2020 to catalyze modern political change in America; Glenn Nye, former Democratic congressman and CEO of the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, a federal policy think tank dedicated to improving the efficacy of the government and the electoral system; and Denver Riggleman, former Republican congressman and CEO of Riggleman Information and Intelligence Group. Learn why compromise and collaboration is so unusual in Washington, D.C., today and how we can change the system to reward cooperation and progress instead.
Learn about the U.S. electoral system and why U.S. political candidates and legislators spend so much time, energy and money appealing to the bases of the two major parties.
Discover how the U.S. political system actually discourages compromise and cooperation.
Gain insight into reforms that can transform American politics for the better.
