From your friends at Pod Save America comes a useful guide to saving American democracy just in time for the 2024 election and 2025 insurrection
If you're looking to navigate the chaotic, dunce-infested waters of American politics, Democracy or Else is here to help you tackle what might be the greatest question of our time: How do you get involved in the political process and make a real difference without giving in to the sense of impending dread that hangs over our society like a nameless stench? Each chapter will take readers step-by-step through the perilous journey of:
- Getting informed when you don't know which influencer to trust (all of them!)
- Donating and volunteering where you can have the biggest impact
- Organizing, protesting, and even running for office yourself
- Staying engaged in politics without losing hope or your mind or all of your friends
Democracy or Else is a resource for everyone-from political junkies following every turn of the news cycle to young people getting ready to vote for the first time. And it's filled with practical advice from some of the smartest experts and least annoying politicians around. The stakes and average global temperatures have never been higher-but there have also never been so many opportunities to join the fight. It's an age of contradictions! Former White House aides during the Obama administration, Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor are the hosts of the widely popular podcast Pod Save America. A no-bullshit conversation about politics, Pod Save America cuts through the noise to break down the week's news and helps listeners figure out what actually matters and how they can help. The hosts are regularly joined by journalists, activists, politicians, entertainers, and world leaders.
