It’s a new, confusing thing for a lot of politicians. But throughout American history, if politicians wanted to be successful, they had to master whatever communication tool was popular. Ben Franklin passed out pamphlets. Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his fireside chats over the radio. John F. Kennedy won over America with TV. And now, it’s all about social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does social media help politicians with their campaigns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within the first month of using a Twitter or Facebook account, politicians saw a small but significant increase in donations. Remember — political campaigns run on donations, and most Americans donate in small amounts. We’re talking like 25 or 50 bucks. So a bump from social media can be huge. Social media also gives lesser-known candidates a low-cost option to communicate and make themselves known. Think about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (aka “AOC”), a representative from New York who came out of nowhere to win in 2018 and become the youngest member of Congress. It would have been REALLY hard for AOC to make the kind of impact she did even a decade ago when she would have had a hard time paying for TV and newspaper ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the downsides to politicians using social media? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media has something really unique going for it. It’s designed to keep you on it by getting you in what psychologists call “flow” — a state of mind where you’re so totally engrossed in a task you lose all sense of time. But that flow can turn dark real quick. News flash — politicians can lie.

It’s a new, confusing thing for a lot of politicians. But throughout American history, if politicians wanted to be successful, they had to master whatever communication tool was popular. Ben Franklin passed out pamphlets. Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his fireside chats over the radio. John F. Kennedy won over America with TV. And now, it’s all about social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does social media help politicians with their campaigns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within the first month of using a Twitter or Facebook account, politicians saw a small but significant increase in donations. Remember — political campaigns run on donations, and most Americans donate in small amounts. We’re talking like 25 or 50 bucks. So a bump from social media can be huge. Social media also gives lesser-known candidates a low-cost option to communicate and make themselves known. Think about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (aka “AOC”), a representative from New York who came out of nowhere to win in 2018 and become the youngest member of Congress. It would have been REALLY hard for AOC to make the kind of impact she did even a decade ago when she would have had a hard time paying for TV and newspaper ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the downsides to politicians using social media? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media has something really unique going for it.

The study defines participatory politics as “interactive, peer-based acts through which individuals and groups seek to exert both voice and influence on issues of public concern.” In other words: lots of teens are online, connecting to one another to make a difference about issues they feel passionate about.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>FOR DISCUSSION\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/csloan-header.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Below are suggestions for discussion prompts to encourage deeper thinking about the Do Now topic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What’s the relationship between online organizing (e.g., replacing your Facebook photo with an image that shows your support of an issue) and more traditional means of protest (e.g., mobilizing a walk-out)?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How have your opinions on social and/or economic issues been affected by social media campaigns?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Can you think of other ways young people work towards social change today?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So what happens when young people use social media to start political movements?

For example, recently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-boycott-in-protest-of-university-president.html?_r=1\">football players at the University of Missouri\u003c/a> announced via Twitter that they would refuse to play until the school’s president, Tim Wolfe, was removed from office.

Shortly after the announcement, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-protest-president-resigns/\">both Wolfe and the University’s chancellor resigned\u003c/a> their positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media can also fuel other youth-driven political strategies, such as student groups pressuring college administrations to divest from industries that profit from social issues ranging from apartheid to fossil fuels.

The presidential Cabinet is a group that consists of the vice president and 15 executive department heads who have the job of advising the president and helping to run the executive branch of government. The Cabinet usually meets at least once a week.
