Book Description
UNIVERSAL SOLDIER meets DEADPOOL! June 26, 1971. Location: Mr. Happy Food & Drink, outside El Paso, Texas. John J. Ramirez is a Vietnam veteran. While serving in Southeast Asia in the late 60’s, he was a test subject for an experimental combat performance enhancement drug – essentially a super-soldier serum. Now stateside, Ramirez can’t remember his own name or how he ended up here. His life has become a series of disjointed flashes – past and present, real and imaginary, continuously overlapping and morphing. And then there's that annoying Grim Reaper only he can see. The chatty bastard won't stop talking and calling him “bro.” Meanwhile, elsewhere in El Paso, Father Karras is a pastor who has determined he is a Knight of the Apocalypse, descended to Earth against the will of a too-forgiving God. Holding a sawed-off shotgun named Salvation, he sets out to do his work. At the Mr. Happy Food & Drink, the paths of these two men are meant to cross. There WILL be blood. A Caliber Comics release.

Book Description
American democracy is in deep crisis. But what do we do about it? That depends on how we understand the current threat.In Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop, Lee Drutman argues that we now have, for the first time in American history, a genuine two-party system, with two fully-sorted, truly national parties, divided over the character of the nation. And it's a disaster. It's a party system fundamentally at odds withour anti-majoritarian, compromise-oriented governing institutions. It threatens the very foundations of fairness and shared values on which our democracy depends.Deftly weaving together history, democratic theory, and cutting-edge political science research, Drutman tells the story of how American politics became so toxic and why the country is now trapped in a doom loop of escalating two-party warfare from which there is only one escape: increase the numberof parties through electoral reform. As he shows, American politics was once stable because the two parties held within them multiple factions, which made it possible to assemble flexible majorities and kept the climate of political combat from overheating. But as conservative Southern Democrats andliberal Northeastern Republicans disappeared, partisan conflict flattened and pulled apart. Once the parties became fully nationalized - a long-germinating process that culminated in 2010 - toxic partisanship took over completely. With the two parties divided over competing visions of nationalidentity, Democrats and Republicans no longer see each other as opponents, but as enemies. And the more the conflict escalates, the shakier our democracy feels.Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop makes a compelling case for large scale electoral reform - importantly, reform not requiring a constitutional amendment - that would give America more parties, making American democracy more representative, more responsive, and ultimately more stable.
