With Democracy in Retrograde<\/em>, a co-founder of the hugely popular Betches Media offers a guide to civic engagement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething has been lost in the way people think about what we owe each other, and what is owed to us by coexisting in a society,\u201d observes <\/em>Sami Fishbein Sage \u201911<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIn reality, we\u2019re all connected to people whom we\u2019ve never met, and will never meet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

With the presidential election close on the horizon, the ILR alum has co-authored a self-help guide to reigniting a passion for civic engagement:<\/em> Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and in Our Lives<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published in July 2024 by Simon & Schuster, the book offers a roadmap to becoming more involved in civic and political life\u2014including an analysis of the deeply divided status quo; a grounding in how government works; and exercises to help the reader assess their own potential contributions, temperament, and bandwidth.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Sami<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage is chief brand officer of <\/em>Betches Media<\/em><\/a>, a news and culture company she co-founded with two fellow alums as undergrads. (Among her tasks: hosting its <\/em>Morning Announcements<\/a> podcast, in which she recaps the headlines in around six minutes.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She lives on Long Island with her husband and three dogs, one of whom is named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg \u201954.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) What do you see as the state of civic engagement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People were really engaged in 2016 and 2020\u2014but now they\u2019re tired of hearing that every election is the most important of their lifetimes, and that one party or the other is going to fix everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of what has torn at the fabric of our democracy is how polarized we\u2019ve become, and how entrenched we are in our own silos. We spend a lot of time online, where we\u2019re pulled further into echo chambers that are optimized to enrage us and further confirm our beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a lot of virtual connections, but we don\u2019t interact in real life with people who are unlike us as much as we used to\u2014and that is in many ways dehumanizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Are particular demographics more engaged or disengaged than others?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Something we learned in researching the book is the concept of the \u201cexhausted majority.\u201d The nonprofit More in Common<\/a> found that only groups at the two poles\u2014moderate and extreme conservatives and extreme progressives\u2014are consistently engaged in activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that only comprises one third of Americans; to varying degrees, the other 67% are disengaged. They hold a mix of views, but they share a repulsion to extremism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why having conversations exclusively online is so dangerous: all we see is the extremes. We don\u2019t hear the more rational, nuanced voices who are willing to listen and compromise\u2014but there are more people in that group, by a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) You write, \u201cRefusing to engage with our country\u2019s very real challenges is a glide path for extremists to gain power.\u201d Could you expand on that?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We argue that not engaging in civic life is itself a political stance; it\u2019s ceding the public square to people who want the most extreme policies. They\u2019re the ones invested in showing up every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average American just wants to live their life; they don\u2019t want to spend their spare time having conversations about polarizing topics. That\u2019s why we say there are many ways to get involved with your community and to rebuild our civic fabric. If we\u2019re all more connected, we can see our humanity\u2014and realize that what\u2019s online doesn\u2019t represent how most Americans think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Even though you run a media site, you recommend auditing one\u2019s news consumption. Why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The algorithms are built to upset you\u2014to capitalize on your emotions and keep you scrolling\u2014so you should be intentional about where you get your news and how you consume it. Obviously, that\u2019s difficult on social media. But you can choose to follow particular news accounts, groups, organizations, influencers, and politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also have a separate email address where you get news updates, and read them when you\u2019re in a space to consume it. Maybe you watch a particular show at the end of the week. You don\u2019t have to consume every single thing in order to be an informed American.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) You give readers exercises to understand themselves\u2014whether they\u2019re an idealist or realist, an optimist or pessimist, and so on. Why is that an important step toward effecting change?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On a sports team, you don\u2019t expect everyone to play every position. People are more likely to do something that feels true to them, that is fulfilling, that matches their abilities and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being engaged doesn\u2019t have to mean knocking on doors, running a campaign, or being in the weeds of foreign policy. There are different ways to embody your values, like making art or donating to a nonprofit. Any sort of volunteering is a type of civic engagement; it\u2019s about getting out of your personal silo and into a giving mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

6) We all know the adage, \u201cDon\u2019t talk about politics at the dinner table.\u201d But you encourage readers to do so under certain circumstances. Why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most effective way to change people\u2019s minds and to drive turnout is not through pundits or ads; it\u2019s through conversations with people they know and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called relational organizing: feeling out what\u2019s important to people, and making them understand the connection to civic or political issues. Not everything has to be so partisan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
