I enjoyed this book for the most part. I think her argument has value, which is to say that the Left tends to leave stirring the electorate’s passions to the far right, which is why they sometimes have difficulty getting people to the polls. At times, I felt that her phrasing was overly formal and it made me feel like I was taking a graduate course in Political Science. At other times though, the text was more accessible and enjoyable. Overall, a good introduction to her writing.
