What kind of democracy, or more accurately, a democratic republic, are we living in when presidents get elected without winning the popular vote, or when voters favor stronger gun control measures, easier access to legal abortions, and a higher minimum wage, but they have been unable to achieve these measures no matter how often they go to the polls and cast a ballot? Bob talks about all of this with his guest, Eric Alterman, a historian, author, distinguished professor of English and Journalism at CUNY's Brooklyn College, and columnist at The American Prospect.
