Seeking to diminish minority groups' influence in the party-and we cannot emphasize this strongly enough-is the wrong way to reduce polarization.
The book "How Democracies Die" by Steven Levitsky emphasizes that trying to reduce polarization by diminishing the influence of minority groups within a political party is misguided. Levitsky argues that this approach is not only ineffective but could further exacerbate divisions and tensions within the political landscape.
According to Levitsky, fostering an inclusive environment is crucial for healthy democratic practices. Rather than marginalizing certain groups, political parties should seek to engage with them, recognizing that inclusion can lead to a more stable and unified society.
