Dan Pfeiffer was once a senior advisor to President Obama. But it’s in the podcast world that he really found fame, as one of the co-hosts of “Pod Save America.” Now, he is warning that the very idea of American democracy is under threat. It’s a theme he explores in his new book, “Un-Trumping America.” He joins Michel Martin to explain how he believes Democrats can win in November.

Originally aired on February 24, 2020.

Yea, Dan. Brilliant as ever. Scary, scary times we're in--your suggestions for change are logical and essential, and could truly nudge America towards actual maturity.

We turned down the wrong path when we elected Reagan in 1980, and we've been on that path ever since.

she hit the right point (but to shortly) when she said that it's more important to have a majority in the house and specially the senate, then have the presidency !!

We voted for Obama because he wanted to end the polarization and get back to cooperative governing. The GOP leadership made it impossible because they simply refused to cooperate on even the most basic generally nonpartisan legislation. This was because of their *explicitly stated* intention to deny anything Obama wanted to accomplish.

If American women would increase their voting turnout by 10 percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children."

Michelle Martin and Dan Pfeiffer, thank you both for having this conversation! To change the system we need to remove big money from the process, campaign finance reform for real. Term limits for Supreme Court Justices, and a directly elected Presidency! As it's near impossible to amend the Constitution, first and foremost we need a direct path for Citizen Amendment.

Approximately 100 MILLION eligible voters did not vote in 2016. That is truly shameful. Our soldiers literally give their lives to protect our right to vote. Shame, shame, shame. Go to the polls. I don't care who you vote for.

He makes great points. Our voting should actually be democratic. It feels banana republic right now.

I think we need to put more decisions into the People's hands on ballots, i.e. raises for Congress, term limits, oversight decisions, no gerrymandering, ect. No President should be allowed to do what this one has done to our Democracy. Also, the Justice Department should absolutely be a separate entity, not the President's private legal system.

God how I wish more people would watch things like this instead of mindless mainstream crap on tv. Some of the comments iI hear from people are just mind blowing with ignorance and incoherency.

Yes 2020 is winnable, but get out and vote to get rid of trump and the spineless GOP! Surely that is not a hard task?

Thank you, Dan. Wow...feel completely better informed and inspired! Keep doing what you're doing!
