Amazon’s current bestseller looks like a staid political book. Titled Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide, there’s a stars-and-stripes donkey on the cover and a blurb praising it as “thorough.” But instead, it’s more than 200 blank pages.
The gag book is by conservative Daily Wire managing editor Michael J. Knowles and was published on Feb. 8. “It took a very long time to research this book,” he said Thursday on Fox. “I’ve been observing the Democratic Party for at least 10 years now and when I observed their record and reasons to vote for them, on reasons of economics or foreign policy or homeland security or civil rights and so on, I realized it was probably best to just leave all the pages blank.”

The book’s list price is $9.99. Readers seem to think it’s worth the cost. One Amazon user review calls it “a phenomenal piece of literature,” and another says, “If Democrats copied and pasted the contents of this book into their national platform they could become unstoppable.”
