Summary

Jon Stewart analyzes how Republicans exploit loopholes to gain political advantages while Democrats stick to the rules—and questions whether it’s time for a change in strategy. Jon sits down with Ruy Teixeira, co-author of Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, to explore how the party lost its working-class base, whether cultural politics are alienating voters, and why neither major party seems interested in building a true majority coalition.
