Didi Kuo, author of The Great Retreat: How Political Parties Should Behave and Why They Don't, joins the Niskanen Center's Steve Teles and Marshall on The Realignment. Didi, Steve, and Marshall discuss why political parties have reached record levels of unpopularity in the United States, what "good" political parties could look like, the history of party reform organizations like the Democratic Leadership Council of the 1980s and 1990s, the positive case for political parties as a way of organizing the will of the people, and the differences between the American party system and alternatives across the democratic world.
