And is it the system tha t’s broken\, the people running it or both? Americans learn about checks and balances between the executive\, legislative and judicial branches\, but how does any of that work in real life? We’ll follow power from the federal government down through states\, counties and cities\, asking why governing the United States often appears far messier than governing China and many other countries. Broadcasting from Seattle\, Damon\, a universit y professor\, published poet and very opinionated American\, will lead a l ively\, uncensored introduction to how American government works and why i t so often doesn’t. Challenge the system\, defend it\, criticize anyone\ , ask absolutely anything or admit you know nothing about US politics: thi s is a space for curiosity\, disagreement and strong opinions without judg ment. No political knowledge or preparation is necessary—just come ready to question everything. 为什么美国政府看起来这么乱？到底 是这套制度坏了，还是管制度的人坏了，还是两个都坏 了？美国人从小就学行政、立法、司法三权之间怎么互 相制衡，但这些东西放到现实里到底怎么运转的？我们 会顺着权力从联邦政府一路往下看，到州、县、市，聊 聊为什么治理美国经常看起来比治理中国和很多其他国 家要乱得多。 Damon 从西雅图连线，他是大学教授、出版 过诗集的诗人，也是一个观点特别鲜明的美国人。他会 用一种很生动、不遮不掩的方式，带大家入门美国政府 到底怎么运作，以及为什么它经常运作不起来。你可以 挑战这套制度，也可以为它辩护，可以批评任何人，可 以问任何问题，或者干脆承认自己完全不懂美国政治： 这里就是一个欢迎好奇、欢迎分歧、欢迎强烈观点、但 不会被judge的地方。不需要任何政治知识，也不用提前做 功课——人来就行，准备好质疑一切。 DTSTAMP:20260922T153339Z LOCATION:Popcorn Online SUMMARY:Why The US Government Sucks Right Now END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
