Exemplification Essay: Why To Vote Third Party

Decent Essays
I am not a political person. I don't enjoy talking politics in the least, and in a normal world, I don't care if one votes Democrat or Republican. I hope that the people I know, are intelligent enough to actually do some research and not one of the mindless drones that vote via party. In a normal world, I would never encourage anyone to vote one way or another. However, if you are a mindless sheep that votes simply because someone tells you that your candidate is of a certain party, and you are discouraged by your party, I would like to encourage you to vote third party instead voting for an asshat such as Donald Trump. This is a man that represents the absolute worst that this country has to offer, and to put him in an office as powerful as

    In recent discussions of third party campaigns, a controversial issue has been whether third parties hurt the presidential campaign. On the one hand, some argue that they help get the people’s concerns be heard to the two major parties. On the other hand, however, others argue that it ends up having the focus away from other problems. In sum, then, the issue is if voters are better off with more choices or that third parties are unnecessary. While some believe that voting for third parties divide the country in a way that hurts us, third party candidates can be useful as they push the people’s views onto the two major parties.…

    Imagine sitting at a table and drafting a document that is going to govern and choose the United Stated president every four years for the rest of history. In 1787, the values and thoughts of those men were about fairness and a balance of government that they had not found being under British rule. Now as a citizen of the United States, we go into booths and either press a button or mark with a pencil who we would like to be our president or at least that is what we think. The actual process of electing the president is handled by a group of individuals elected by our citizens that cast a vote based on what we as citizens mark in that booth. We can all agree that while it was fair and balanced with 13 states in 1787, we may need to relook…

    Electoral College Alternative The Electoral College is a voting system that was put into place by our founding fathers in the constitution. The Electoral College has 538 electors and out of those electors, 270 votes are needed to win an election (National Archives and Records Administration 1) . Most Americans dislike the Electoral College and what it stands for, being that Americans feel their votes do not count.

Freedom to choose, to express how they feel, and the right to vote without the British or unjust governments getting in their way.

    The Republican Platform’s Views on Three Topics There are two main platforms in politics in the United States with third parties in the mix. After taking two quizzes that determined their results bases on asking questions on current issues, I was matched to the Republican National Committee at 43% (45% for social issues and 40% for economic issues). I had a 38% rating for the Democratic National Committee (with a 35% for social issues and 40% for economic issues) and a 5% rating for the Green Party (with 0% for social issues and 10% for economic issues). The Republican Platform matched my views on three issues in the United States, dealing with the present-day restriction of religion in schools, the current Education system, and the Illegal Immigration problem.…

    A democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people, and the United States claims to have the freest and most democratic in the world. In fact, many consider the American democracy to be a shining beacon of freedom, more so than any other nation on earth. Yet, upon closer examination of the U.S. presidential election process, this claim begins to deteriorate. Due to the founding fathers’ distrust in the ability of average voters to choose a president, they created the Electoral College: a system through which each state is given a number of electors based on its number of members in Congress. State legislatures choose a set of electors who later convene to cast votes for president.…

    Participation in Politics: Is Compulsory Voting the Answer to Low Voter Turnout? Every few years, the concept of compulsory or mandatory voting appears on United States politicians’ radar as a solution to increasing voter turnout. Following the 2014 midterm elections, when only 33.9 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, President Obama threatened to make voting compulsory via an executive order (DelReal). This announcement by the president brought the idea to the forefront of American politics once again, and constitutional scholars quickly responded, claiming compulsory voting laws violate the rights of United States citizens (von Spakovsky).…

    Third-Party Voting Is Not An Option More than any election before, voters want a viable third-party candidate. We have third-party candidates, of course, but none of them are going to win. The system of government we have set up completely blocks any third-party candidate from even having a chance of winning. Even candidates that aren’t a third party candidate and win the majority vote, Al Gore, for example, aren’t guaranteed to win. In 2000, Al Gore won the majority vote for most states, but because of the electoral college, Bush won the election overall.…
