A hopeful, deeply researched case for how ordinary Americans can rebuild a functioning democracy.
Legislative activity in Washington, D.C., has fallen to historic lows, while partisanship has surged to heights not seen since Reconstruction. In The Bipartisan Path Forward, Quinn James Cunniff traces the evolution of American governance from the post-World War II era to today, revealing how decades of institutional shifts and political incentives have pushed the nation toward escalating division and how everyday voters still hold the power to change its trajectory.
The Bipartisan Path Forward presents a practical and revolutionary solution to political polarization and gridlock in America’s capital. Drawing on his expertise in data analytics, Cunniff explains the power of split-ticket voting and shows how small shifts in voting patterns can fundamentally reshape the federal government and the future of American democracy.
Urgent and constructive, The Bipartisan Path Forward charts a realistic path toward a healthier and more functional democracy. As polarization intensifies and trust in institutions erodes, Cunniff points to a surprising source of renewal: Americans willing to act strategically at the ballot box.
