Reddit reviews Asymmetric Politics: Ideological Republicans and Group Interest Democrats

No, I am making an observation about behavior of both sides. Donald Trump is not sufficiently competent that I would throw my lot in with his crew.

I'm suggesting casting out the beam in thine own eye before going after the mote in thy brother's.

There are two options:

1. Left coalition ceases playing identity politics.
   
   
2. Some large contingent of white males gets pissed off and starts playing identity politics more aggressively and better than everyone else.
   
   There is no "white males hand over everything because please, oh, please don't call me racist/sexist" option.
   
   I think it's not obvious whether the American polity as it currently exists will make it another decade.

is this a good book

or is it bad and/or will it just stroke my priors

This is just prax, but Democrats tend to be less keen on confrontational politics than Republicans (source). Impeachment might have higher costs for Dems than Republicans.

Also, 2000 is a bad example because with hindsight we know that had the counting in Floria functioned properly, the Dems would have won.

yes, the received narrative about gg is misleading but so is the narrative in this forum, imagining all the conspiracy thinking, piling on and demonization isn't bad. It's not surprising that twitter mobs formed when a bunch of idiots dripping with suspicion pored over pointless details right out of "The Paranoid Style in American Politics".

Regarding Trump, yes partisanship in elections causes a slant (there is no neutral position to judge) but by now most people agree he is a terrible president and you're overestimating partisanship in the most popular left leaning news (The New York Times, The Washington Post) compared to right leaning news in the election (Fox News, Breitbart) which was far more one-sided.
