Everybody Is Sitting on the Curb: How and Why America's Heroes Disappeared
Written in 2008, The Party Decides is oddly, and sometimes frustratingly, uninformed about politics events that occurred after its publication. I'm kidding, but the fact that this book came up before the Obama/Trump years means that probably not all of this material will be of interest to you. Even so, there are some sections that were worth the price of admission, particularly the bit about how America's 2-party system conceals many different parties, which duke it out during the primaries to form a coalition government in November. I'd feel really free to skim this one, and only commit to a thorough reading when the material interests you. Those sections can be enlightening.
