Political Advocacy and American Politics
Why People Fight So Often About Politics
«
"Richey and Taylor provide a timely contribution to the literature on political discord. Skillfully, they find a way to examine incivility through various types of interpersonal communication to demonstrate why Americans need to continue to continue to discuss and interact over politics. Unquestionably, Political Advocacy and American Politics will become a must-read in political behavior."
Shauna Reilly, Professor of Political Science, Director of the Institute for Student Research and Creative Activity, Northern Kentucky University
"Political Advocacy and American Politics is a must-read for political behavior scholars. The project is very well researched and sheds new empirical light on a normatively important political behavior that scholars of politics often overlook."
Jeffrey M. Glas, Lecturer of Political Science, School of Public and International Affairs, University of Georgia
"An important read for anyone wishing to understand today’s turbulent times, the conditions that drive ordinary citizens to forcefully advocate for their political beliefs, and the importance of contentious political talk for American democracy."
Stacy Ulbig, Professor of Political Science, Sam Houston State University

Political Advocacy and American Politics provides a detailed explanation as to why citizens engage in interpersonal advocacy in the United States. Sean Richey and J. Benjamin Taylor eloquently show how the campaigns, social media, and personality and partisanship affect one's propensity for candidates, which often leads to arguments about politics.
Using original qualitative, survey, and experimental studies, Richey and Taylor demonstrate the causes of political advocacy over time in the political environment and at the individual level. While some worry about the incivility in American politics, Richey and Taylor argue political talk, where conflict is common, is caused by high-activity democratic processes and normatively beneficial individual attributes. Furthermore, Richey and Taylor argue that advocacy-when conceptualized as a democratic "release valve"-is exactly the kind of conflict we might expect in a vibrant democracy.
Political Advocacy and American Politics: Why People Fight So Often About Politics is ideal for university students and researchers, yet it is also accessible to any reader looking to learn more about the role campaigns and personal attributes play in the decision to advocate.
