Micah L Sifry

Spoiling for a Fight

Third-Party Politics in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The two-party system has long been brain-dead, Sifry argues, kept on life-support by discriminatory ballot access, unequal campaign financing winner-take-all races, and biased media coverage. Yet, after years of grassroots organizing, third parties are now poised to make major inroads. Bringing together interviews with the major third-party candidates and their supporters with lively narratives and insightful analysis, Sifry provides a compelling overview of the most vital developments in American politics today.
