Fixing our democracy demands bold change. In this talk, Maryland Carey Law Professor Max Stearns outlines three essential reforms:
1️⃣ Reimagine the House of Representatives — blend single-member districts and proportional representation to end gerrymandering.
2️⃣ Encourage multi-party coalitions — move beyond the two-party trap and give voters real choices.
3️⃣ Create a way to remove a deeply problematic president — ensure accountability at the highest level.
These reforms strike a Goldilocks balance: not too few, not too many—just right. The goal? A stronger, more representative, and more resilient democracy.
