Independent Politics: How American Disdain for Parties Leads to Political Inacti

Description: Independent Politics by Samara Klar, Yanna Krupnikov Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book argues that the tone of politics stigmatizes Democrats and Republicans, driving people with partisan preferences to identify as independent. The study is aimed at those interested in politics and the media, political communication, political parties, public opinion, participation, and elections and voting behavior. Publisher Description The number of independent voters in America increases each year, yet they remain misunderstood by both media and academics. Media describe independents as pivotal for electoral outcomes. Political scientists conclude that independents are merely undercover partisans: people who secretly hold partisan beliefs and are thus politically inconsequential. Both the pundits and the political scientists are wrong, argue the authors. They show that many Americans are becoming embarrassed of their political party. They deny to pollsters, party activists, friends, and even themselves, their true partisanship, instead choosing to go undercover as independents. Independent Politics demonstrates that people intentionally mask their partisan preferences in social situations. Most importantly, breaking with decades of previous research, it argues that independents are highly politically consequential. The same motivations that lead people to identify as independent also diminish their willingness to engage in the types of political action that sustain the grassroots movements of American politics.
