Bad politics wins when good people quit
Bill Britt argues that cynicism rewards bad politics, while democracy depends on citizens who refuse to disappear from public life
In this latest episode of “This Matters with Bill Britt,” Bill Britt reflects on the exhaustion many people feel toward politics—the noise, the anger, the lies and the sense that nothing can be made better.
But Britt argues that withdrawal does not punish bad politics. It rewards it.
He makes the case that democracy was not built for spectators, but for citizens willing to keep asking questions, reading, showing up and voting even when cynicism feels easier.
