Political scientist and data analyst Eitan Hersh explores how to take your mild interest in politics and transform it into real, impactful change, even in this upending and controversial political climate. He discusses how the impending inauguration may impact regular people, and how the "spectator sport of politics" needs to be mobilized into action. Eitan's new book, Politics Is For Power: How to Move Beyond Political Hobbyism Take Action and Make Real Change, is available for purchase through Eight Cousins Bookshop, Bookshop.org, and Amazon.
