Here's what we're discussing on Leid Stories today:
Between A Rock and A Hard Place: Has the U.S. Two-Party System Thwarted Democracy?
American politics essentially is a power contest between two national political parties -- the Democratic Party and the Republican Party -- for power and control over the strategic resources of our society.
Where are the people in all this? They get to "vote," even though it's mostly to elect preferred candidates to office, and not a referendum on the party's response (or lack thereof) to voters' major concerns.
It's called democracy.
Considering that the system consistently falls woefully short of voters' expectations, why does the two-party antidemocratic model remain the American political standard?
Leid Stories listeners tackle the contradiction.

Fifty-one years ago, the nation began observing Black History Month.
It was neither a quick nor easy victory; Black educators and college students began pressing for the national Black History Month designation long before President Gerald R. Ford made it official in 1976.
What did Black History Month mean then? What does it mean today?
Leid Stories listeners provide perspective.
