About this episode
Legacy candidates do not break democracy. But they do weaken it.
When familiar last names dominate our political system, voters start with an uneven playing field. Some candidates inherit name recognition, donor networks, and media attention before a single vote is cast. Others have to build everything from scratch.
This video looks at legacy candidates, political dynasties, and inherited advantage, and asks a simple question. Does democracy work best when power is earned, or when it is inherited?
This Thursday, December 18, I will be interviewing Blythe Potter on the Resistor Vic Podcast. Blythe is running for Secretary of State in Indiana. The conversation is about giving voters a fairer chance to decide for themselves.
