Can Our Democracy Be Bot?

This Week in Dystopia

It’s been over a year since the 2016 election. Campaigning has concluded, ballots have been cast, and the results are in. Despite this finality, the year’s events and subsequent questions still linger in the minds of many. One of these people is Donna Brazile, Harvard Shorenstein fellow & former Democratic National Committee (DNC) interim chair. In episode nine of This Week in Dystopia, Brazile sits down with host Christopher Robichaud to discuss her experience during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Brazile covers how she uncovered an unethical financial relationship between the Clinton campaign and the DNC. She then dives into what it was like dealing with attacks and hacks, focusing on our need for better cyber hygiene and literacy.
