TED: Why US politics is broken — and how to fix it | Andrew Yang

Andrew Yang discusses the flaws in American politics, focusing on poor incentives and the influence of media. He highlights the disparity between low congressional approval ratings and high re-election rates, attributing it to the primary system and media influence. Yang proposes a solution inspired by Alaska's voting reform, which uses rank choice voting to reduce extremism and improve political accountability. He suggests that similar reforms in other states could realign political incentives and foster meaningful progress.
