Description
It's time for Democrats to strike while the iron is hotâŠ
The American electoral system is clearly falling apartâmore than one recent presidential race has resulted in the clear winner of the popular vote losing the electoral college vote, and Trumpâs refusal to concede in 2020 broke with all precedentsâŠat least for now. Practical solutions need to be implemented as soon as possible. And so in Itâs Time to Fight Dirty, political scientist David Faris outlines accessible, actionable strategies for American institutional reform which donât require a constitutional amendment, and would have a lasting impact on our future.
With equal amounts of playful irreverence and persuasive reasoning, Faris describes how the Constitutionâs deep democratic flaws constantly put progressives at a disadvantage, and lays out strategies for âfighting dirtyâ though obstructionism and procedural warfare: establishing statehood for DC and Puerto Rico; breaking California into several states; creating a larger House of Representatives; passing a new voting rights act; and expanding the Supreme Court.
The Constitution may be the worldâs most difficult document to amend, but Faris argues that many of Americaâs democratic failures can be fixed within its rigid confinesâand, at a time when the stakes have never been higher, he outlines a path for long-term, progressive change in the United States so that the electoral gains of 2020 arenât lost again.
