Partisanship is partly a performance, and we learn how we ought to enact it in part by looking around the social environment. When journalists influenced by political science tell us there are just identity partisans who stand with daggers drawn, that limits our pol imaginations.

I argue there are at least two fundamentally different ways citizens experience their relationship to political parties: based on identity & closeness. These understandings are embedded in existing survey measures of partisanship & I argue they matter for how we study & value it.

For White & Ypi, the situation is even more stark because their account is ~incompatible with identity partisanship but works well with closeness partisanship. They value partisanship for how it sustains collective projects, but identity isn't about that while closeness may be.

I conclude that if we want what's best about partisanship on any of these accounts, we should be attentive to the plurality of partisanships. We should also revise how we study partisanship to better reflect how citizens live it every day, and avoid polarized conflict.
