Can Citizens Fix South Carolina Politics? w/ Andrew Shue

What if ordinary South Carolinians could help write the laws that govern their lives? Andrew Shue explains the South Carolina Forum, a citizen assembly experiment designed to bring people from across the state together to deliberate, reach 70 percent consensus, and propose real legislation to lawmakers. We discuss gerrymandering, political polarization, and why many voters feel disconnected from the decisions made in Columbia. If you are interested in citizen assemblies, democracy reform, and the future of South Carolina politics, this episode dives into whether a people powered approach could change the system. 00:00 Introduction 02:06 South Carolina Forum and Assembly Process 08:05 Direct Democracy and Gerrymandering 11:57 Choosing Citizen Assembly Delegates 15:04 Polarization and Electoral Reform 21:50 Andrew Shue’s Activism Journey 26:46 Call to Action and Closing Andrew Shue Founder of The South Carolina Forum https://scforum.org/ Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
