Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop

Book • 2020
Lee Drutman's "Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop" delves into the structural and historical factors contributing to the dominance of the two-party system in the United States.

The book argues that this system hinders effective governance and representation, leading to political gridlock and voter dissatisfaction.

Drutman proposes alternative models of multi-party democracy, advocating for electoral reforms that would foster greater competition and inclusivity.

He explores the potential benefits of such reforms, including increased voter engagement and a more responsive political system.

The book challenges readers to reconsider the conventional wisdom surrounding the two-party system and envision a more representative and functional democracy.
