Empowering the Exhausted Majority
This chapter explores the concept of the 'exhausted majority'—67% of Americans disillusioned by politics and seeking pragmatic governance. It highlights the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance, where many feel isolated in moderate beliefs despite a shared desire for change. The authors advocate for relational organizing to inspire civic engagement and strengthen democratic communities, promoting the idea that personal connections can drive political action.
