Description
Why is this happening?
One reason is that the media has become increasingly focused on the game of politics, rather than on its substance. Stories about horse-race polling, campaign strategy, and political gaffes dominate the news, while issues that actually affect people’s lives are often ignored.
This focus on the game of politics has created a “spiral of cynicism” among the public. When people feel like they’re not getting any real information about the issues, they become less interested in politics and less likely to vote.
Another reason for the decline in political participation is the rise of social media. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have become echo chambers, where people are only exposed to information that confirms their existing beliefs. This makes it difficult for people to learn about different perspectives and to have informed conversations about politics.
This book argues that the decline in political participation is a serious threat to our democracy. When people don’t vote, they’re giving up their voice in government. This makes it easier for special interests to control the political process and to pass laws that benefit themselves at the expense of the public.
The book also argues that there are ways to reverse the decline in political participation. One way is to encourage the media to focus more on the substance of politics and less on the game. We also need to find ways to make social media platforms more conducive to informed discussion about politics.
Finally, we need to educate citizens about the importance of voting and civic engagement. We need to help them understand that their voice matters and that they can make a difference in their community and country.
If we can do these things, we can help to restore trust in government and rebuild our democracy.
