Why We’re Polarized with Ezra Klein

Last year, we had Ezra Klein on the show to assess how bad things were in the Trump era (conclusion: not great). Now, Klein is back to discuss his new book "Why We're Polarized" which provides a systematic look at the deep structural defects in American democracy that are manifesting themselves in two coalitions that are increasingly at each other's throats.  Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: White Identity Politics with Michael Tesler The Information Crisis with David Roberts How Bad Is It? with Ezra Klein
