Persuasive Essay On American Politics

As of late the Electoral College has been looked down upon for their decisions in the 2016 election and many have considered doing away with it. If this were to happen, the popular vote would be the direct vote. Nonetheless, by giving the popular vote the most authority, it would be like giving a monkey a loaded gun: they wouldn't know how to use it and it can lead to many more minor problems that can easily be avoided with the help of the Electoral College. Giving the Electoral College too little or too much power would lead to unwanted disagreements. The Electoral College is best the way it is in view of the fact that the winner-takes-all distribution of votes, changes the victors small percentage margin to seem much larger, so it makes the candidate’s win more certain and legit (usnews.com).

Amidst the past eight years of lackluster economic advancement, America’s prowess and respect declining worldwide, increasing government involvement in daily lives, and a President seemingly unwilling to take a solid stance on a the global threat of terrorism, the transfer of power between political parties in the White House is not so stunning. Due to the two-party system, this is not an unprecedented phenomenon. The American people are constantly seeking a political party to garner their attention and adapt to changing times, opinions, demographics, and attitudes (Cohen) and this results in the alternation of power between the two key political parties.

During this year of 1794, we have come through many tribulations and have suffered to great extent for our freedom of Britain. This country has lost fathers and sons to bring us freedom and ensure our rights are kept. It brings me displeasure to write about grievances with our own government. However we must be aware of current and past issues and let it be known that this country and government will defend its people’s rights and preserve their freedom.

This year’s election has reached new extremes that were never predicted to come about. We have two candidates that are both unfit to run America based on past occurrences and current ordeals. Along with this, there is bound to be arising conflict, yet who knew it would become as horrible as it is?

Thesis: Donald Trump has been able to run such a successful presidential campaign as a result of the evolution of the GOP and his clever tactics throughout the race, however if he does get the nomination, then the results would be devastating for the republican party because they would be almost guaranteed to lose the general election and it could even result in the downfall of their party, but in the end, the most interesting thing about Donald Trump’s campaign is how it has shown us just how divided this country is.

In politics today, two parties exist; the democrat party and the republican party. Out of the pair of organizations, the democratic party remains as the world’s oldest political party. It was first founded in the year 1828 by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Jeffersonian Republican or Democratic-Republican party

“Make America Great Again.” These are the famous words President Donald Trump stated during his campaign in a successful attempt to gain votes. Likewise Kim Jong Un lies about his country being the top of the line and the best there is. Both powerful leaders utilize deceit and dishonesty to improve their social image. Yet, regardless of their claims, these two leaders haven't helped their respective nations so far; they only seem to care about reputation, similarly to Abigail Williams and Judge Danforth in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, all demonstrating that the authority of an individual does not make their word any more honest.

As the 2016 Presidential election is approaching and President Barack Obama’s term is coming to a close, I’d like to look back at the previous election of 2012 and analyze what exactly happened. From the parties themselves to campaign fundraising and propaganda effectiveness.

It is our favorite time of year again--election time. This election season we have an amazing array of candidates, especially on the GOP side. The candidates are such great quality that some of them have never even held a political office. For example, we have a brain surgeon and a media personality running. How does being great at brain surgery and media make you fit for a presidential candidate? You tell me I am still trying to figure that one out too. However, the candidates with the least political experience are actually doing the best in the polls. One candidate that seems to be untouchable right now is GOP candidate Donald Trump. The most unorthodox, radical candidate you will probably ever meet--besides Hitler of course.

The 2016 United States Presidential election brought out the worst in people, hope turned into fear and the American citizens were divided on who would ease their fear. The Republican candidate, Donald Trump, an outsider to politics, his outspoken nature only helped his campaign. Just when the people thought he could not say or do anything worse, he would defy the odds and top his previous offensive comment with something even more offensive. The Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton, has been active in politics for the past few decades, her roles in government include Senator and Speaker of the House. While many times previous experience would help a candidate, this only hurt her and eventually led to her demise. This election will go down in

I agree with you on the making the history voting. I too wonder if the voters really voted for the changes that was promised or was is really just to make history or it could be both. I still have nope that most of us are voting for a better tomorrow. A better education, lower crime rate, better health plan, help for needy and more. It’s true having a black President didn’t really change anything when it comes to uniting us as a country. I feel like we are more divided than ever, just watching the news shows that. It’s true racism seem to be part of human nature, everyone are still who they are, no matter who the President is. I still hope for the future of everyone coming together and getting along. At the moment, we are no way close to being

With the Presidential debates happening this year and Obamas last couple of months in office. The candidates for the election have come to rise from certain both political parties Bernard Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Each candidate has given speeches and responded to questions asked in debates, which have given us citizens an understanding of their policy and who we think will make a change and be in our own benefit. I believe there should be many reasons that add up behind on the decision you make on whom you will vote for. I myself will be voting for Donald John Trump this upcoming election. He is candidate for the republican party. There is many reasons behind my decision like tax reform, his system for healthcare, doesn't rely on donors, and the U.S.- China trade relationship.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.
