Why do only 13% of Americans believe their country is heading in the right direction?

Let's dive into some serious stuff about democracy and the government's accountability to its citizens. It's all about the policy feedback loop, which is the relationship between the government's actions while in power and the public's ability to vote based on their actions.

But here's the thing: in the United States, this feedback loop is weakening, in congress, the White House, and even the Supreme Court. If the government doesn't care about what its voters think of their actions, they can do whatever they want, and that's led to some disastrous consequences in the past.

So, join me as we explore the importance of the policy feedback loop and how it affects democracy in the United States.
