Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop

"Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop" explores the current crisis in American democracy, highlighting how intense partisan conflicts and the collapse of political norms are undermining democratic institutions. Lee Drutman combines history, democratic theory, and political science research to examine how the two-party system contributes to political toxicity and suggests that introducing more parties through electoral reform could revitalize and stabilize American democracy without the need for constitutional amendments.
