In 1994, former Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neill, co-wrote a book called “All Politics Is Local” and so coined the political truism.
Fifteen years later, in the new political age of Barack Obama, social media driven politics has not only provided the foundation for electing the first African American President, but it has turned politics into a social conversation that is as culturally relevant as who Paris Hilton is dating. PopRule expands O’Neill’s political insight beyond geography by transposing “all politics is local” into the more culturally relevant truism that “all politics is social.”
In an age where headlines often dictate the nature of the collective conversation, be it on the local or national level, we believe it is important to remember that our politics are both local and social.
And in our quest to create more relevance and context for the way our streets are paved or how the decisions of local school boards affect our kids, we recognized the need to organize the marketplace for political news from a local and social perspective. And so, PopRule was born.
