Pressure politics

Pressure politics is when a group of people try to influence a decision by putting pressure on someone who has power to make that decision. Let's say you want your mom to buy you candy at the store, but she usually says no. You might try to convince her by whining, crying, and pleading with her. This is putting pressure on her to change her mind. In pressure politics, people often use tactics like protests, petitions, and media campaigns to put pressure on those in power. This can be helpful in making change happen, but it can also be controversial and sometimes even dangerous.
