How to Knock Out Super PACs with Lawrence Lessig

Kara talks to Lawrence Lessig about his fight to end Super PACs —
without passing a constitutional amendment or overturning Citizens
United. The Harvard law professor and Equal Citizens founder
was once the internet’s open-access evangelist. 19 years ago, he
shifted his focus from intellectual property to institutional
corruption, and since then, he’s become one of the country’s
sharpest critics of money-driven politics. Kara and Lessig
examine how the tech industry shifted from being led by largely
apolitical or "libertarian-light" figures to becoming a sector that
actively enables Trump; whether Democrats can capitalize on the
Epstein controversy to persuade Trump's voters that he’s not the
outsider he claims to be; how engagement-driven AI is tearing
democracy apart; and why citizen assemblies are the way to repair
it. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us on
