À propos de cet audio
A much-needed wake-up call for the Democrats, which reveals how the party has lost sight of its core principles and endangered its political future―from the authors of “one of the most influential political books of the 21st century” (The New York Times)
For decades, American politics has been plagued by a breakdown between the Democratic and Republican parties, in which victory has inevitably led to defeat and vice versa. Both parties have lost sight of the people at the center of the American electorate, leading to polarization and paralysis. In Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira reveal the tectonic changes shaping the country’s current political landscape that both pundits and political scientists have missed.
The Democratic Party, once the preserve of small towns as well as big cities and of the industrial working class and the newly immigrated, has abandoned and even actively alienated many of these voters. In this clarion call and essential argument for common sense and common ground, Judis and Teixeira reveal the transformation of American politics and provide a razor-sharp critique of where the Democrats have gone awry and how they can avoid political disaster in the days ahead.

“John Judis and Ruy Teixeira are the two preeminent scholars of liberalism and the Democratic Party. Over the past several decades, they have chronicled the vicissitudes of the American left with unmatched skill and insight. Where Have All the Democrats Gone? captures the fragile state of the party at a critical moment and joins the ranks of Theodore White’s The Making of the American President 1960 and Richard Ben Cramer’s What It Takes. A deeply informed and beautifully written work of reportage and scholarship, this volume is brilliant, indispensable and simply the best analysis in decades of America’s urgent, fraught politics.”—Thomas Edsall, columnist at The New York Times
“If like me you are terrified by the prospect of a second Trump presidency, you need to ask yourself just how, despite seemingly favorable demographics, the Democratic Party became so vulnerable to populist attacks. In Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, John Judis and Ruy Teixeira’s brilliant and levelheaded intervention into the fraught debate around identity politics and polarization, two of our best political minds make a clear and persuasive case for how and why Democrats must win back the trust and partnership of the working class. It’s a What’s the Matter with Kansas? for the contemporary left and just in the nick of time.”—Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White
“Over the last half century, Democrats went from being the unified party of working people to a fractured collection of interest groups. With an unparalleled understanding of political history and practice, John Judis and Ruy Teixeira tell us how and why identity politics trumped class, and what the Democratic Party must do to regain its strength—and its soul.”—Rana Foroohar, columnist at the Financial Times
