UnRepresented "reveals the driving forces behind political corruption and the unprecedented reforms to restore a government that better serves the people."
Shawn and Dan discuss the nuances of a topic that is not as simple as many might assume. When people think of corruption, they think of illegal forms of it, like bribery. But, what happens when partisan and moneyed-interests have an outsized influence over policymakers and the way they legislate and it is all perfectly legal?

The national narrative would have us believe that America is on the brink, but this is a perception forced on the population in the zero-sum contest between the Republican and Democratic Parties.
The truth is, America is not as divided as the parties would have you think.

2021-02-1946 minToppling the DuopolyWhat Is The Two-Party Duopoly?Imagine going out to dinner but there are only two restaurant options from which to choose. The customer service may be sloppy in both, and no matter how much a customer raises grievances with the limited options on the menu, nothing changes. Instead of adapting their business practices to an evolving consumer base, they increasingly distance themselves from the interests of consumers.
What’s worse, employees of these two restaurants also write the rules and regulations that govern the service industry and other employees enforce the rules. Sounds crazy, right? Why would we ever allow this to ha...

The thing is, advocates for the amendment want to put it on the 2022 closed primary ballot, which would have substantially lower turnout and disenfranchise nearly 30% of voters.
Why? Because those in power want to game the system to protect and strengthen their majority in the legislature. It is the type of partisan machinations and voter suppression that happens all the time when parties...

4 Ways The Party Could Still Screw Bernie Sanders
by Shawn M. Griffiths in Campaigns Feb 19, 2019
Sanders enters the race with a number of advantages. As I previously reported, his donor file is exponentially larger than the rest of the Democratic field. He was able to use that donor file to raise more than a million dollars in less than 4 hours.
Bernie also leads the pack of announced candidates in the polls. The only politician who is able poll higher than Sanders among Democratic primary voters is Joe Biden, and he has yet to...
