The book from which this op-ed is drawn has challenged me and how I think about the contemporary Congress consistently and significantly over the past several years. nytimes.com/2020/11/18/opi…
I do think there are some places where the implications of differences between the parties could be explored more fully, especially in terms of how the current GOP agenda (tax cuts + judges) largely consists of things that can be done without having to overcome a filibuster.
But if you also want to be challenged, I recommend both the piece and the book. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…
A last word on the book, especially for my friends in the classroom: almost all of the evidence in the main text is from a truly impressive set of interviews, comparisons of percentages and means, and examinations of trends over time. It's very accessible to a broad audience.
