UNUM Short: Elections in Times of Crisis

In the latest UNUM Short, Ken Burns explores the crucial presidential elections during the Great Depression, which realigned party affiliations, redefined American politics, and dispelled the common misconception that our electoral map - of blue, red & “swing” states - is set in stone.

This is the best non-partisan ray of hope I've ever seen. I honestly wonder if the U.S. wouldn't be better served by eliminating political parties. I can attest that neither of the prevailing parties speaks for me, at all.

Not far enough. Eliminate government. Whatever needs to be done, we can do it without them telling us how and stealing our money for the priviledge of their wisdom.

Thanks for all you do Ken 😊👍

Happily forever slightly left of Ken, glad he never wavered

I dont agree with Ken Burns politics, but love his work!! He is a genius, and always look forward to his documentaries.

Si se puede. We CAN change it all up. Women got this. One woman just inspired us so now we will make big changes. We will cancel the last three SCOTUS and about 200 others. We will make their appointments a moot issue.
