Our country has had lugubrious political issues, like our presidential campaign. Most citizens in the United States of America are ambivalent on who they will vote for. Both candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, are full of depravity. The candidates think they are omnipotent, but really wanton with the social impression they have. After the twitter wars, both parties have been very vengeful. They both spread fabrications about the other one. Hopefully the country will be able to be resilient after the elections, no matter who gets elected.
Political races is on the rise the rise of donald thump it has caused bad to happen to people and to see people like you have never seen them before their are two parties there were two people that did not get along it was bad because it did not stop because it did not stop it formed the two political parties we have today the republicans and the democrats and in the past they were the federalists and the anti federalists two parties but different ways of thanking.
In the 1980’s, the United States was in a recession. Clinton’s presidency helped America get out of the red and was finally out of debt. During this time, crime rates rose as well as poverty and unemployment. Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 as a Democrat, and ran again in 1996 to be re-elected. Clinton’s Presidency consisted of many improvements within the nation, but also the collapse of his reputation. Throughout his presidency, Clinton was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice due to an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Although Clinton was a member of the Democratic Party, he worked with the Congressional Republicans throughout his presidency, in order to unite the two parties while he was in office. Both Clinton and the Republican
Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton have marketed themselves with speeches, appearances on television and advertisements. Donald Trump represents the Republican party. Hilary Clinton represents the Democratic party. Donald Trump stands for making America great again. He is ambitious enough to come so far long in the presidential race and he is confrontational. Trumps brutally honest opinions and vulgar language has differentiated him from the competition. He is very bold with his obviously high self-confidence. I believe Trumps marketing team has done a good job although he is always portrayed as the bad guy. Even though he is portrayed as the bad guy, his slogan "make America great again", is catchy and has helped him progress and connect with
This reflects how Americans can sometimes be extremely stubborn when they are passionate about a certain issue, and this often causes conflicts across the entire country between two different sides. America will likely never be in perfect unison due to the fact that people will always have differing opinions, and it is human nature to be passionate and stubborn about one’s own opinions. Another example of a more recent time which caused large civil unrest was the Black Lives Matter Movement in 2020. The country became largely divided over this issue, some claiming that it was ridiculous as a whole, and some being all for it. This movement highlighted that minorities are often oppressed, and people who hold power, either through wealth or influence, are privileged through this and will unfortunately sometimes take advantage of it.
Many citizens of the country were outraged and shocked to find that Donald Trump would be our new president. A lot of people started walking down streets, walking out of schools, some even causing a bit of violence. Whether we like it or not Donald will be our new president; many would have different opinions on how he managed to win the election. Three of those important reasons are because there was a low voter turnout, the electoral college, and because of Hillary's email incident.
The United States government is known for its democracy and the ability that every person has a voice because of their vote. There is voting year-round for things such as governors and mayors, small positions but they require voting and have an importance. Most people only pay attention to the presidential elections and their voices being heard there During the presidential elections, it usually dwindles down to the final candidates which are usually either a democrat and a republican and the third party which not many people pay attention to. The United States has a two-party system because there are two only dominant parties in the government, the two parties being: democrat and republican. For some this two-party system is hindering our
Who's to blame? A lot of people, especially millennials, think that our political parties are to blame. If only the Democrats and Republicans could get along and hear each other out, we wouldn't have these problems. Many even believe that if we eliminated political parties from the system completely, we would be better off and look like a real democracy, like ancient Greece. The Greeks had things figured out, right? We based everything else off them anyway.
Last but not least, the media does not take political elections as seriously as politicians might like. People on social media, horse-race the politicians to see who will win the election. They debate on who will win, rather than the politicians views on topics. Horse-races are where citizens vote on who will win the election and they see the race happen and they determine whether their vote was correct or not. They ‘run’ the politicians, just like how people run horses. “Lost in the media spectacle is any careful coverage of issues and policy proposals, or serious discussion of candidate background.” (bigthink). When the media horse-races politicians, they horse-race them by their party or their major decisions that they have made. Citizens can also race them by protests that they were involved in, in their young adult lives, for example Bernie Sanders and his early protests were covered all over the media.
The question to behold is, are Political Parties really representing who the American voters are? People oftentimes express that the people of their own political parties are not really giving a good image for the people of their own party. Hillary Clinton was supposed to represent the Democratic party for the 2017 election. With being such an admirable figure any mistake can be taken and a sign of being a liar, deceptive, and manipulative. Those who support her and her Political Party are perceived to be a lying, deceptive, manipulator, but that does not mean that her followers are. The same concept can be applied to Trump, oftentimes he is seen to have no filter, as a racist, and even sexist as well, and again the same thing can be said about Trump; just because he is viewed as that, that does not mean that his followers are the same
That being said, however, I also think an equal (perhaps greater) problem is the role the media plays in any election. Journalists have human biases and often times they allow them to show by promoting those candidates with whom they agree philosophically or, even worse, providing more coverage for those they know will produce higher ratings.
Rearing near towards the 2016 presidential election, the most popular candidates are Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump. The most likely Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has many radical views on certain issues. For the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton seems most likely to be the Democratic presidential nominee, but her views on issues don’t seem to be the best. There are many general similarities between Hillary Clinton’s and Bernie Sanders’s views. However, there are certain areas where Bernie’s ideas seem to be the most beneficial.
America is the leading power in the world. Although to other countries we may seem like a well bonded country, we are divided. Democrats and Republicans in the past have never been this angry at each other in a long time. The last time our nation has been this divided was during the Civil War and events that partook after. Statistics in this past election show that 54% of Republicans our in disapproval of Democrats. While Democrats show a 55% disapproval toward Republicans (Election News). This divide started in 2008 when John McCain elected Sarah Palin to be his Vice President in the election vs. at the time Senator Barack Obama. After Obama was elected President, the Alt-Right and Conservatives were afraid that they would not have another Republican in office again. Back when Eisenhower was elected, Democrats and Republicans showed a 60% approval rating of him when elected into office (Thinker,America). From Lincoln to Trump on the other hand, Democrats nowadays are not happy with the New Republican Party. Then in 2015 Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. He than attracted the Alt-Right with his talks and inciting fear into Americans. Nowadays America is divided and
The American society is divided between Trump supporters and people who don’t support Trump and it’s divided for other reasons as well. I think we always had that problem when American society is divide but when Trump was selected to be President, the society being divide was more known and it made our society feel like we are at war with each other. The American society has a set back because we are in 2018 and we still have problems with people who have different culture, religions, race, or etc. that are being discriminated.
Americans are finding that identifying with one of the two major parties is an impossible task. They feel neither of the parties hold their beliefs on how they feel the government or the state they live in should be run. They are fed up with the bickering and arguing that goes on between parties. This bickering and arguing gets out of hand and the real issues get put on the back burner. Americans feel the important issues are being ignored so the two parties can argue about who is the better party. Americans are sick of the arguing and want to get back to dealing with and taking care of the issues. Americans want the political parties to do what is best for the American people, not what is best for the political parties. Sometimes doing what
This year’s Presidential election is defiantly going to be one for the books no matter who wins in the end. There are so many people who believe that their candidate is so much better than the other and it feels like this country is pretty much divided in half. People who support Clinton, are finding ways to make Trump sound like the nastiest person alive and he is unfit to be the president and it is the same way for Trump supports about Clinton. I believe that they both have their good and bad points in their campaigns but they both also have very bad ideas that is not sitting well with anybody. People from the south are generally going to vote republican and people in the north are generally going to vote democratic. That is the way that it has been for decades and no one really expects anything to change in the way that the nation votes as a whole.
