Commonwealth Club - SF Club Office
Political pundits Mann and Ornstein unleash their critique of the dysfunctional political system in America, and question whether political compromise is possible. With hyper-partisanship seeping into every aspect of American political life, Mann and Ornstein believe our very system of constitutional democracy has been compromised. As former executive director of the American Political Science Association and current Brookings Institute Fellow, Mann has teamed up with long-time CBS election correspondent Ornstein to offer the political prescription for functioning politics in the U.S. Come hear their panoply of useful ideas and reforms to call the media and public into focus on the real problems facing American democracy today."
