It's A Numbers Game with Ryan GirduskyIt's a Numbers Game: Ask Me Anything: Filibuster Explained, Gerrymandering Debate, U.S. Oil Reserves & Election Insights
In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan answers listener questions on some of the biggest issues shaping American politics, elections, and the economy.
Ryan breaks down the history and evolution of the Senate filibuster, including how it changed from a talking marathon to today’s “silent filibuster,” and why the 60-vote threshold continues to shape what legislation passes—or fails—in Washington.
The episode also dives into the growing debate over gerrymandering, exploring whether Republicans or Democrats benefit more, how redistricting has evolved since the Tea Party wave, and what realistic solutions could end the political “arms race” over district maps.
