The Soul of the Party in the Age of Extremes
Book • 2023
In 'Where Have All the Democrats Gone?
', John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira examine the tectonic changes in the American political landscape that have led to the Democratic Party's current struggles.
The authors argue that the party, once a stronghold of small towns, big cities, the industrial working class, and newly immigrated communities, has abandoned and alienated many of these voters.
They provide a detailed critique of how the party's radical turn to the left and its focus on identity politics have contributed to its electoral vulnerabilities.
The book suggests that the Democrats must move back toward the center and reconnect with mainstream values to avoid political disaster.
It is a timely and essential argument for common sense and common ground in American politics.
