Technology has changed our democracies significantly, with beneficial and harmful results. During the pandemic, communication technologies have become even more crucial, especially in an election year. At this Transatlantic Tuesday, we will focus on how the Internet has influenced the way we inform ourselves, listen to news, and contribute to political debates. How has it changed the ways that Americans on the left and the right inform their political decisions? What impact is this having on the presidential race and on the way in which the winner will make decisions and govern? We will also discuss the state of the presidential race and the way in which voters on the right and left are responding to the campaign.

Speakers:

Matt Duss - Foreign Policy Advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders

Jamie Fly - Senior Fellow and Senior Advisor to the President at GMF Berlin
