2. Why are political parties in the United States weaker today than in the past?
Political parties are becoming weaker due to some ways that the political party candidates and representatives, are going about handling their campaigns and pushing their agenda forward in America. In the past years, the regulations that were in place, in the past and are currently in place now, have greatly changed, in how political parties are regulated. They have weakened over the years and lessened their ability to hold political parties accountable for the way they press the parties’ viewpoints. Regulations have declined in how parties’ political candidates, for example, running for president are to handle their camping processes. regulations have become weakened (Wilson, Dilulio Jr., Bose).
These laws and regulations, that are to be in place would have an effect on how the candidates are nominated. Another way the parties have become weaker today than in the past is, in the ways the political parties are raising money for their campaigns. It seems the parties on both sides are weakening and certain areas of beliefs of strong party lines are becoming compromised, with others that may have opposing viewpoints, just to reach an agenda to propel them forward. It would seem we have many individuals who are now branching off their party line and are becoming independents. For example, we see the Tea party, American independent party, which has been around for many years, and others along the lines, that have branched off from their main stream party line. Political parties are trying to stick with their own set of grassroots, however, over the years they are taking many different issues on both sides into consideration and turning it around to fit with their party’s beliefs. Each political party is trying to reach the voters based on demographics and the issues that the media has currently headlined. The way the political parties are raising money has also raised eyebrows today than in the past to run their party campaigns effectively. Both sides are using tactics that attack their opponents in ways we did not see in the past, like we do today (Wilson, Dilulio Jr., Bose). 3. Why does the United States have just two major political parties? There are two main political parties in the United States. According to our textbook, we see some of the reason is due to the way the electoral laws are, currently in place against the public and their opinion. With the electoral laws in place, the way they are it would seem to make it challenging for candidates to really be heard on the issues they feel strongly about and to be understood fully by those public voters. Another reason is that our nation only has the two major political parties, democratic party and the republican party, solely because the majority of the publics opinion on a larger scale seems to fall into one of these changing categories over the years. Parties have defined what they feel is rights and beliefs that should be followed and as the nation changes so does the parties’ beliefs systems. The fit the realm of the public at large, due to
