为什么值得读
- 颠覆按政见投票认知
- 剖析身份政治与政党忠诚
- 解释公众对精英的误读
Achen 和 Bartels 认为，democratic theory 应当建立在 identity groups 和政党的基础上，而非个别选民的偏好。Democracy for Realists 对传统观念发起了强力挑战，指明了通向根本不同地理解民主政府现实与潜力的道路。——Publisher。

任期限制其实是把权力从公众民主选举出的代表手中剥离，转而赋予了那些在政府里混上四五十年的官僚。请参考：克里斯托弗·H·埃肯和拉里·M·巴特尔斯合著的《现实主义者的民主：为什么选举产生不了回应民意的政府》（Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government）。https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi... 如果你想要民主选举出来的……
Term limits shift power away from the representatives that the public has democratically chosen and instead empowers those bureaucrats who serve in government for 40 or 50 years.

……归结起来就是：1 政党忠诚度 2 身份政治 3 关键州的蓄意压制选民 4 选举人团制度，而它最初设计出来恰恰是为了防止这种事情（煽动民粹）发生。第 1 点和第 2 点在《现实主义者的民主：为什么选举产生不了回应民意的政府（普林斯顿政治行为研究系列）》中有详细探讨 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691169446 第 2 点在《怨恨的政治：农村意识……

……各种精英群体如何误判了公众的情绪。而比较少见的，反而是探讨公众如何误读精英的书。在这一类里，我认为《现实主义者的民主》可以说是最出色的一本：https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi... 我去年底读了这本书，并在 Substack 上发了几个摘录：https://demodexio.substack.com/p/democracy-for-realists-part...……
…various elite groups were misunderstanding the mood of the public. What is somewhat more rare is to read a book about how the public misreads the elites. Into this category I would, arguably, suggest that Democracy For Realists is the best: https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi... I read this at the end of last year, and posted a few excerpts here: https://demodexio.substack.com/p/democracy-for-realists-part...…
《现实主义者的民主》这本书让我大开眼界。https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi... 太长不看版（TLDR）：人们投票是基于身份认同（自我形象），然后再根据需要调整自己的政治信仰（立场）。
The book Democracy for Realists opened my eyes. https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi... TLDR: People vote based on identity (self image), then adjust their beliefs (positions) as needed.
我也曾经历过一段勉强且痛苦的世界观转变，从看重“政纲”转向看重“身份认同”。《现实主义者的民主：为什么选举产生不了回应民意的政府》https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691178240/ —— 唯一值得庆幸的是，基于具体议题的社会力量填补了这一空白。说到党派偏见，我比谁都严重，……
I too grudgingly, fitfully made the worldview transition from "platforms" to "identity".

……之前我对其中的很多内容也算有点了解，但哈拉里的写作方式真的能让你换个角度重新思考问题。另外还有两本书对我影响挺大的：《现实主义者的民主：为什么选举产生不了回应民意的政府》，以及辛克莱·刘易斯的《大街》（Main Street）
…a little familiar with a lot of it before, but the way that Harari writes really makes you think about things differently. Here are a couple of other books that have been pretty influential for me: Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis
