I suppose rather than shaping the nature of party politics itself it would change how the narrative of either party is shaped. The party can't rely on pandering to extreme realities and perhaps a more complex voter will compel more thoughtful leadership? This does sound like a bit of a stretch however.

Yeah, at scale i feel the individual who insists on nuance and plurality in policy is sacrificed for the sake of the larger masses who are willing to take on more tribalistic positions.
I don't think this is so far from today's reality. How often have you disagreed with positions from either side of the aisle but found yourself powerless to achieve political expression.
Perhaps this us too defeatist. So i commend the author for trying.
