Most of Politics involves political strategy, but not all of political strategy involves politics. Politics involves the actions that politicians make, and political strategy involves the reasoning they use to make those decisions. [[Policy]] also does not fully capture political strategy as much of a politicians job involves just getting to the point of making policy. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[American's are scared of the word communism not it's meaning]] > - [[Anger fuels change]] > - [[Conservatism states that conspiracy is more believable that cooperation]] > - [[Humans are primarily irrational, illogical, emotional beings]] > - [[Knowledge of an unjust world is painful]] > - [[Nixon paved the way for Reagan]] > - [[Non-faith issues have been co-opted to keep people in the christian church]] > - [[People are radicalized when they are convinced that change is out of their control]] > - [[Rise of Modern Conservatism]] > - [[The moral majority movement was the original 'making things political']] > - [[Wealth Inequality creates a need for change]] > - [[Yang's political failure was due to lack of activism and political inefficacy]] > - [[Yang's political success was due to his appeal to common sense]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[topics]] > - [[46 Politics]] > - [[Mass media promotes the spread of inaccurate information]] > - [[The church will fail if christians keep aligning themselves with hate instead of love]] > - [[The ethnic makeup of a community is a significant driver of change]] #### Discussion [[political strategy]] plays on [[political behavior]]. > [!wikipedia] [political behavior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories%20of%20political%20behavior) > > Theories of political behavior, as an aspect of political science, attempt to quantify and explain the influences that define a person's political views, ideology, and levels of political participation.
