Episode Synopsis

We all know someone who follows political news obsessively, who gets anxious if they can’t follow the news, and who goes on social media to tell lots of people that they are wrong. That describes less than 20% of us, but, as Yanna puts it, "It, it feels like 80%!”
Yanna Krupnikov, a professor of political science at Stony Brook University, talks about what it means to be deeply involved in politics and how those people — on the right and on the left — have two things in common: they care about different issues than the vast majority of other voters in their own party, and they are absolutely certain that they, and only they, are right.
