As a result, the splintered facets of the Democratic Party have perpetuated the perception that Democratic political leaders are not relevant in the foreign policy arena. Furthermore, Democratic public servants (particularly Democratic Presidents) consistently present notions of America’s global leadership that demonstrates the divide among the party elite and the

Although the two parties might seem to share the same common ground, both political parties take a different approach on many of the important issues and is one of the reasons why having a two-party system is a good thing. Second, it provides a stable balance between the two parties because of the differences of interests and opinions. Third, having a two-party system encourages political participation by allowing U.S. citizens to express a difference of opinions and take part in their own governing, by casting their votes at the polls.

Such policies include education, environmental issues, foreign policy, and rights to disabled citizens. If I were able to vote in the election, I would cast my vote for Democratic candidate Hillary

  • Why Do Texas Have Responsible Parties

    758 Words  | 4 Pages

    American political parties are not responsible parties by which i mean they have neither centralized control over nominations and financing or the power to impose on the party platform on members. The parties in texas are especially weak,because neither the primary election or the party organization is important in deciding who is nominated to office, and candidates rely on their own fundraising more than their party to help them get elected. Texas should have disciplined parties in the future because it would make more intelligent voting, encourage more people to vote, the candidates chosen would be loyal and not betray the public's trust, and office and public policy would be easier to enact while more self consistent. A responsible party is when a party has centralized control over nominations and financing and the power to impose the party platform on members. Election campaigns are often times confusing simply
