The American electoral system is clearly falling apart - as evidenced by the 2016 presidential election. In It's Time to Fight Dirty, David Faris offers accessible, actionable strategies for American institutional reform which don't require a constitutional amendment, and would have a lasting impact on our future.
With equal amounts of playful irreverence and persuasive reasoning, Faris describes how the Constitution's deep democratic flaws constantly put progressives at a disadvantage, and lays out strategies for "fighting dirty" though obstructionism and procedural warfare: establishing statehood for DC and Puerto Rico; breaking California into several states; creating a larger House of Representatives; passing a new voting rights act; and expanding the Supreme Court.
The Constitution may be the world's most difficult document to amend, but David Faris argues that many of America's democratic failures can be fixed within its rigid confines - and, at a time when the stakes have never been higher, he outlines a path for long-term, progressive change in the United States.

I. Heard references to Ayn Rand. Or she and her followers organizations. You have to know what the other side is made up of to know why the Republican Party became an anti-system party. On the Supreme Court, you need to know what effects of Dred Scott has had on the US. Civil War, the 13th Amendment, the 14 Amendment, the 15 Amendment, the 16th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, the 23rd Amendment, the 25th Amendment, the Voting Rights Act of 1965. All these needed to be done to negate one Conservative Supreme Court Ruling.
