Hooray for Politics:
The 2016 presidential campaign is underway. Candidates are crisscrossing the country, organizing local offices, raising money, creating media campaigns, appearing in televised debates, and searching for messages that resonate with voters. This ritual of electing the president can be rousing, inspirational, ridiculous, disheartening, or a combination of all the above. At their core, campaigns are attempts to rally Americans to engage in our unique form of democracy -- a goal embraced by the Museum in 2016, during a year it has themed "America Participates." |
