What is political hobbyism, and why is it a bad thing for our politics and our country?  Political Science professor Eitan Hersh joins the show to talk about his book Politics Is For Power.  We discuss why most people who talk about politics aren't doing anything useful, how actual political power is wielded at a local level, and how the Neoliberal Project can transition from being an online group who talk about politics to a real world organization that takes the reins of political power.
