    My new book, Politics is for Power, is out today. Interest in politics is very high right now, but most people do a form of politics I call `political hobbyism'. In hobbyism, power is the topic of our intrigue but not the goal of our actions.

    A psychologist told me this weekend that she’s been recommending “Politics is for Power” to patients who are really stressed out by the news. Amazing! And fits: volunteers always tell me how therapeutic they find engaging in politics vs hobbyism Being part of it > watching it

    People last week: is so right! Let's stop with political hobbyism and get to work building power! People this week: Here are more soundbites, clickbait articles, and screenshots of twitter trolls that suggest my candidate has electability and yours doesn't!

    The January edition of This is Not a Moment is landing in inboxes! This month, I reviewed a new book from about the nature of modern activism and civic participation, and I asked from the about how they're rethinking their program for the 2020 election.

    My new piece in : Damned if they do, doomed if they don’t: Why Sanders rivals don’t go negative Democrats should worry about what happens when Republicans take the gloves off.

    Trying to build power just by having presidential candidates debate their big ideas that may or may not pass and would be years in the making - that's a mistake. Parties and party-aligned groups should show people NOW that they care about their needs. Don't dismiss this strategy.

    Thanks we had 90 Canvassers squeezed into a room with barely enough space and food in a presidential swing state this Sunday. I'd say that's the room where it happens!

    Is it nuts that 400 donors contributed $7K on a gofundme page to send sheet cakes to GOP Senators? Yes, yes it is. If this useless political hobbyism bugs you, how about donate to an amazing local org like the ones I profile in my book, such as:

    Tip of the day, hobbyists: people have different roles to play. E.g. it may be the D nominee's role to say to the public: vote for me to return to normalcy. If you want radical policy change, it's your role to work on that in your community, not to tell the nominee what to say

    And the courage of these canvassers puts in stark relief the cowardice of many people of great privilege and safety who need to dunk on others (especially on social media) to feel better. Canvasser and organizer kids are the best of us.

    FYI - Boston, if you too make the effort to go all the way downtown to the irs office to request a w-2 form, they will probably also tell you that due to budget cuts, they - the irs- don’t carry those forms. But, they said helpfully, I might be able to buy them at staples.

    You know what’s better than primaries? a system where elected party leaders - representative of the party voters - decide who should be the nominee. Like the way the nyt board did, but the people deciding were delegates of the voters. Would it be better than this? Yes it would.

    Liberals: were not elitist, you’re elitist. Also liberals: the kind of politics we like best is following every juicy story of White House intrigue and any news about how everyone but us is to blame for bad stuff. Real politics - community organizing - is beneath us.

    A good chance to offer a shout-out to professional and lay religious leaders who are doing the hard work of building community and inspiring mission, helping citizens serve one another.
