Divided States of America

Republicans vs. DemocratsThe U.S. follows a dual-party system, in which two major political parties are intended to work together cohe-sively for the best interests of the American people. The parties consist of Republicans and Democrats. Rather than coming together, many Americans have decided to take a stance and choose a side. In order to produce change, the voting system is a key element for Americas growth. But due to Americans biased posi-tion on a specific party, many hardly focus on the issues or the candidate running. Instead, many focus on automatically picking the party just for the political name.

This shows how without even knowing a candidate that some Americans surveyed, already knew which party they would vote for if an Election occurred tomorrow.

The Divided States of America needs to come together in order to create a more equal government based on the right people running, not just based on the political party. Voting for the proper establishments and improvements is key in developing the growth of America. We, the people, created this institution and we should continue to do so for generations to come.
