Summary

The U.S. political system’s quirks keep power in the GOP’s hands despite Democratic registration leads—thanks in part to closed primaries that sideline moderates. Senator Lisa Murkowski, facing reelection in 2028, exemplifies the stakes: even without Trump on the ballot, his influence looms large. For voters who want more than extremes, ranked choice voting offers a lifeline—without it, Murkowski risks a right-wing primary challenge. This isn’t theory—it’s about who gets to represent you and how diverse your choices really are. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
