Red states and blue states

Red and Blue states stand for the United States whose residents vote for the Republican Party (red) or Democratic Party (blue) presidential candidates. The Blue and Red states idea was more common since the 2000 presidential election. It has been known by media and society since that year. Red states which are the Republican states tend to be more conservative. Blue states which represent Democracy most likely are more liberal. In this paper it is shown a comparison between a Red state, Texas and

The United States and cultural myths pertaining to this country have been a topic of discussion for many years. Stephanie Coontz’s “The Way We Wish We Were”, David Brooks’ “One Nation Slightly Divisible” and Margaret Atwood’s “A Letter to America” are all essays about different American cultural myths. Each author focuses on a different cultural myth that pertains to the United States. They explain how these myths are thwarting a realistic view of America. As well as changing the perception of the

I base my argument on Table 1 and 2 in Alan Abramowitz’s essay that shows how the US electorate have to choose between two parties although they may not feel as strong about the topic like the candidate. Tables 5 and 7 in Morris Fiorina’s essay convince

In the book, Culture War?, by Morris Fiorina, the myth of a polarized America is exposed. Fiorina covers issues such as why Americans believe that America is polarized, that Red and Blue State people aren’t as different as they are made out to be, and that the United States is not polarized along traditional cleavage lines. This book even covers perspectives on abortion, homosexuality, and whether or not electoral cleavages have shifted. A large point of Fiorina’s is his take on the 2004 election

Religion And Politics The United States has a written document known as the constitution that protects the rights of its citizens. Contrary to popular belief, Americans do not possess what some consider “constitutional rights” rather we have God-given rights protected by the constitution. Our founding fathers had an understanding of this truth, and made it clear in the Declaration Of Independence. It states “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they

Americans are reasonable when it comes to their views. For instance, red, and blue states, he believes that aren’t many differences between the two. Most if not majority of those who identify themselves as Democrat or Republican are moderate. Fiorina offers us an example, Table 3.4 offered varies ideas one being,” Is the government almost always wasteful and inefficient” (Table 3.4, 39). Red States were about 44% while blue states were 39%, both were very similar, or another example is “ discrimination

If you vote for president in the United States you don’t directly vote for the actual president. When people vote in the U.S. Presidential Election their votes don’t go straight to the result. Instead,their votes go to the state, and whoever wins the majority of votes in that state earns that state’s electoral votes. States get their electoral votes based on how large their population is.
