As an increasingly smaller percentage of young constituents are engaging with traditional political mediums, the time to acknowledge a shift in the paradigm underlying American politics is now. Voters raised in the digital age expect an immediately tangible manifestation of their actions; anything less timely is archaic. Thus, participatory politics should be used to involve this generation’s people, who are driven by local, cause-specific experiences. With young voters capitalizing on the…

With programs such as Class Dojo or on the computer, it makes it…
