Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop
The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America
Lee Drutman
The book argues that the entrenched two-party system in the United States is deeply polarizing and dysfunctional, advocating for a multiparty democracy through electoral reforms like ranked-choice voting and proportional representation to foster greater political competition and collaboration. It outlines the historical development of the two-party system, its consequences, and presents a detailed case for institutional changes aimed at breaking the cycle of partisanship and gridlock.
