Out Of The Running: Why Millennials Reject Political Careers And Why It Matters - 9781479877485

Millennials are often publically criticized for being apathetic about the American political process and their lack of interest in political careers. Shames suggests that millennials are not uninterested, but they don't believe that a career in politics is the best way to create change. Millennials view the system as corrupt or inefficient and are skeptical about the fundraising, frenzied media attention, and loss of privacy that have become staples of the American electoral process. They are clear about their desire to make a difference in the world but feel that the "broken" political system is not the best way to do so.
