The second I heard it, I liked it, i.e. the term ‘two minority parties’ as a way to describe our contemporary Democratic and Republican parties. Neither seems capable of forging a majority coalition, largely because their bases won’t let them. … ‘Two minority parties’ via Ruy Teixeira and Yuval Levin, whose new study was cited by David Brooks in his latest NYT column. And I liked David’s descriptions of the ‘priesthoods’ now controlling the two parties.
