It's well known that America's two major parties don't like each other. In the wake of the most recent election, it's becoming clear they don't like their own people much either.

In this episode, Shawn and Dan discuss how recent internal feuds in both the Democratic and Republican parties reveal a potential splintering of the two-party system, how some political insiders are calling for a third political option, and a small group of legislators proposing a reform that could make that happen.
