For many years since 1879 citizens of the United States wait in line to vote for the next great president who will help the country stand tall for another four years. But the mistake doesn’t lie in who you vote for, but what you are voting for and supporting. We sometimes ask ourselves, “what does each party do?” or “what are their beliefs for our country?” For starters the Democratic Party supports gay marriage, abortions and supports the rights of gun ownership. They also agree to have higher tax rates and not many laws. With that said, there are many negative features that come with those privileges. For instance this party is basically showing that they are people pleasers, they do what the people want and don’t enforce their own strict
The Republicans have selected me, Arthur Chester, to be Garfield’s running mate. The Republican Party has favored Civil Service and I have decided to take part in this. In fact, I have considered not being nominated for a second term; in order to satisfy the American public. However, I know that a few may love me for this and others may not, but I am not just doing this for myself, but for the people.
immigrants of being drug dealers, rapists, murderers, and criminals overall. “There is a very real criminal component utilizing the dislocations caused by massive immigration to cover crimes of every variety, from drug trafficking to murder. This does not [account] for irresponsible driving habits that also take a toll of American citizens. This writer has two friends in two separate incidents that were killed by errant aliens. In both case, the aliens fled across the border to avoid vehicular manslaughter charges” (Thompson). The reality behind the Republican Party´s arguments against immigration is discrimination and racism. “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists” (Trump). Their statements are not based on evidence or statistics, but are huge generalizations.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been the majority party for more than 40 years uninterrupted, except in 1993 and 2009. In 1993, members of the party defected to form a new party, losing the majority control of the party, hence losing control of the government. This temporary loss of power gave reformers a chance at changing the Japanese political structure to include two main parties that regularly alternate power. In 2009 the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won the majority seats. The LDP took back the majority in 2012. During DPJ’s tenure in power, the devastating 2011 Japanese earthquake occurred. When Prime Minister Noda Yoshihiko pushed through a controversial sales tax consumption increase bill through the National Diet. December of that year, the LDP was able to pressure Prime Minister Noda to dissolve the lower house, leading to the LDP gaining the majority. Then in 2013, the LDP reached majority in the upper house too, effectively taking back control of the government. The Diet has been lopsidedly dominated by the LDP over three or four other smaller parties that had practically no chance of controlling the government. However due to pressures from the LDP, the reformers were forced to compromise to retain certain aspects of the old system intact. Many experts believe that the electoral reform does not have a high chance of creating a two-party system that is like the US.
On a side note, I'm happy to say that a good portion of Sanders' supporters I've met at campaign events are completely dissatisfied with the Democratic Party. At several events, event organizers have asked those in attendance, "Who will vote for Hillary if Bernie doesn't get the nomination?" More often than not, at least half the room doesn't raise their hands.
I think Republicans would be for it more than Democrats because the Republican party is more known to be about money.
With America now in its very earliest days of being a new nation, any and all actions taken by the government would have lasting impacts on the development of the country and, going forward, would set a precedent for the future. After the Revolution and signing of the Declaration of Independence, America was no longer a sparse group of colonies aggregated along the Eastern coast. America was the start of something entirely new and profound to the modern world: democracy. Because of its hot and fiery origins, the founding fathers of America and intellectuals of the age — whether war veterans or legislators — were very much divided on the vision of America’s future. Thus, the roots of political parties were set in the course of American history forever. From the period 1789 to 1800, political parties developed from an insurmountable difference in opinion in leading a nation. These stark differences and
A Republican is a person who is involved with or supports the Republican Party. They support the ideals that the party holds in its party platform. Their party platform includes restoring the American Dream, reforming the Federal government, renewing American values, and abiding by the Constitution to fix the country. Some party planks include cutting government spending, making a Federal-State partnership to create jobs, reform the tax code, and organizing space missions and programs. A Republican is usually more conservative, which means that they most likely disapprove gun control, oppose abortion, and disagree with same-sex marriage.
Over the course of its existence, the Democratic Party has changed drastically. The Party, who originally supported slavery and fought against civil rights, has now become known for favoring the opposite of those. In general, the Democratic Party is now known for favoring government control, and more government involvement in citizens
The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have many differences, but they also share many similarities. The Democratic Party is the oldest continuing party in the United States. A new coalition of Westerners, Southerners, and non-property owning white men emerged from the Democratic-Republican Party and formed the Democratic Party. The core beliefs that tie the Democratic Party together are: Democrats believe that they are greater together than on their own, that the country succeeds when everyone has an equal opportunity, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. The Democratic Party is focused on building an economy that lifts up all Americans, not just those at the top.
The Democrats have been known to support more liberal causes, such as reproductive rights and marriage equality, while Republicans, also referred to as the GOP, favor more conservative stances, such as lower tax rates, gun ownership rights, and free trade agreement between foregin countries (“Political”). On the subject of National Defense, Republicans favor a strong military and a reduction of immigration. Democrats also favor a strong military, but the Democratic Party feels that the citizens of our own country should be secured before the people in foreign countries (“Political”). Democrats support a universal healthcare system, such as the healthcare systems in place in Europe and Canada, while Republicans oppose it (“Political”). The use of clean energy is very important to the Democratic party (“Our Party”).
This article is written to give information about the opposing viewpoints of the Republican and Democratic parties when it comes to LGBT marriage rights and religion. The author states that Republicans tend to believe allowing gay marriage is going against the Freedom of Religion right in the Constitution, while Democrats believe that using religion to prevent gay marriage is going against the Freedom of Religion Act because one has the right to choose which religion they follow and should not be barred down by another religion just because it does not believe what you do. The author, Kenneth Jost, is the author of Supreme Court Yearbook and The Supreme Court from A to Z, and did a spectacular job of showing no bias as far as I could tell.
Many Americans know of the dominant Democratic and Republican parties when talking about politics. Few may know of the many diverse parties that have and still do grace American soil. The diversity of political parties may seem confusing to some, but when examined closely, is a prime example of what America stands for, the right to choose. Some may argue that the American political system does not exemplify the Constitutional right to choose despite its many choices in political practices. However, others may argue that the diversity in political choice and practice-despite not used it its full extent- is what America stands for. The diversity in political parties that the United States has allows those who believe they’re not represented,
First off we will talk about the Democratic platform. The democratic platform has very different ideals on how to run the country and the people in it compared to the Republican platform. The most influential ideology for the Democratic platform is Liberalism. One element that the democratic party holds important is moving America forward. Both parties believe in this ideal, but the democrats have a very different vision of it. They believe to build the economy it must be down from the middle out. A second element they support is that America works when everyone plays by the same rules. They believe in no special expectations for business or people. In the textbook liberals argue, “That every person’s rights or interest should count as much
American is different from other countries because it has a two-party-system, in where the third party is left behind. Hence, the two parties are Republicans and Democrats, both parties have a realistic opportunity to compete for the presidency. It is hard for the third party to even appear in the voting ballot because there are some restriction that prevent them. The Constitution is the main reason why the third party cannot make it to the ballot. The constitution implemented a system called electoral college, in where the candidate must earn 270 electoral votes to be elected as president. Since, most of the states representatives are either republican or democrat. The third party has no chance against this type of monopoly. On the other
Do you ever think democrats have messed up this country, for example, look what Obama has not accomplished much, Obama is a president you do not want ever again. For example, he messed up Obama Care because people who has no health care, we are paying for them in are taxes.
