They Don't Represent Us: Reclaiming Our Democracy

“This urgent book offers not only a clear-ied explanation of the forces that broke our politics, but a thoughtful and, yes, patriotic vision of how we create a government that’ s truly by and for the people.” (DAVID DALEY, best-selling author of Ratf**ked and Unrigged)In the vein of On Tyranny and How Democracies Die, the best- selling author of Republic, Lost argues with insight and urgency that our democracy no longer represents us and shows that reform is both necessary and possible.

America’ s democracy is in crisis.

Along many dimensions, a single flaw - unrepresentativeness - has detached our government from the people.

And as a people, our fractured partisanship and ignorance on critical issues drive our leaders to stake out ever more extreme positions.
