Sean Richey and J. Benjamin Taylor eloquently show how the campaigns, social media, and personality and partisanship affect one's propensity for candidates, which often leads to arguments about politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing original qualitative, survey, and experimental studies, Richey and Taylor demonstrate the causes of political advocacy over time in the political environment and at the individual level. While some worry about the incivility in American politics, Richey and Taylor argue political talk, where conflict is common, is caused by high-activity democratic processes and normatively beneficial individual attributes. Furthermore, Richey and Taylor argue that advocacy--when conceptualized as a democratic \"release valve\"--is exactly the kind of conflict we might expect in a vibrant democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolitical Advocacy and American Politics: Why People Fight So Often About Politics \u003c\/i\u003eis ideal for university students and researchers, yet it is also accessible to any reader looking to learn more about the role campaigns and personal attributes play in the decision to advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSean Richey\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University.
