Do We Need a Third Party? | MiniPod

iHeartPodcasts and Reasoned Choice
About this episode

Welcome home y'all! 

Many of us don’t fit neatly into the boxes “Democrat” or “Republican”…so are you independent?! On this MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross discuss the nuance of third parties in the American Democratic system 

Could a strong third party empower voters? Is voting for a third party candidate a throwaway vote? How would a third party rise to power, anyway? The hosts answer all that and more.
