Congress' approval ratings are at record lows, and both Democrats and Republicans are disgusted by the government's inability to get anything done. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein present a grim picture of how party polarization and tribal politics have led Congress-and the United States-to the brink of institutional failure. In this revised edition, the authors bring their seminal book up to date in a political environment that is more divided than ever. The underlying dynamics of the situation-extremist Republicans holding government hostage to their own ideological, anti-government beliefs-have only gotten worse, further bolstering their argument that Republicans are not merely ideologically different from Democrats, but engaged in a unique form of politics that undermines the system itself.
Without a fundamental change in the character and course of the Republican Party, we may have a long way to go before we hit rock bottom. In doing so, they draw attention to the forces holding back America's future. By clicking "Notify Me" you consent to receiving electronic marketing communications from Audiobooks.

The authors analyze the current U. Congress , and they conclude that the lawmaking body is now almost completely ineffectual.
It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia
Two sources of the problem are given. The first is the serious mismatch between the two major parties, the Democrats and the Republicans , in their view. They state that the groups "have become as vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and [in] a governing system that, unlike a parliamentary democracy, makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act".
Mann and Ornstein specifically criticize the right-ward move of the Republican Party, especially the use of administrative and parliamentary tricks to keep from having clear votes on some issues. The authors describe the party as "an insurgent outlier--ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition".
The book was published the same year as the United States Presidential election. The election campaign brought attention to it as a descriptor of a major aspect of the campaign, the imbalance between the two major parties in the political degrees they went to win elections, and the difficulty the media had in avoiding false equivalence storylines.
Sure the R's have grosser style but the goal of both parties is the same and that is to keep the votes that they buy. They have different styles and the media which is the arena that exists only to drive a consumer economy will exploit any and all drama and at the same time worship ceaselessly any and all power which includes any high office. Exploiting negative emotion seems to be an arena that is left to the R's because in our society especially with Obama in the White House negative emotions from the working class or any complaining from lower-middle class is actually quite taboo in mainstream media.
We're supposed to be living the American dream, everybody get's their own home. You left out a lot. Some of the most egregious actors are the media. News outlets like the New York Times and MSNBC have profound effects and they have essentially become tools of the corporations who own them to strategically influence politicians and the public. I I feel like it's a crucial part of both the agreement and the explanation.
