My Opinion Essay: The 2012 Presidential Election

Improved Essays
The Presidential Election In November, 2016 we the people, are to vote for a new commander and chief of the United States, to lead our country in the right direction. Many candidates, both Democrat and Republicans, along with their supporters, are setting precedence with their abusive and abrasive behavior and bad answers. I look at politics now as more of an argument about a person or vulgar language. When the 2016 election is over the next president is likely to be viewed unfavorably by over half of us. The winner will be untrusted and unable to unite the country to face the real challenges confronting our nation. I personally like Mr. Sanders and Ms. Clinton. I believe they can help me and my family more, and any other low class families. I believe they are both great candidates and liked many of …show more content…
Their system is more for the rich, and more against the low-class families in America. They believe in taking out federal student loans and limiting federal government education. They were wrong about basic, factual details regarding the economy, the environment, foreign policy, the budget, Social Security, education, and defense spending, among other things. I also don’t like how to main point in the debates is to just mock what president Obama did in the office. They also attack Hillary Clinton a lot in their debates. In one point in their debate they was talking about how they planned on appealing almost everything Obama has …show more content…
I saw a lot of change over the years that Obama in office, and I want to see that continue. The republicans are looking to head different way on running the country.

    In the United States of America when people talk about politics only two major parties come to mind, the republicans or the democrats. People usually think that if one does not like taxes, then they tend to associate with the Republicans, if they want more social programs they associate themselves with the Democrats. One fact that people always seem to forget is that the United States of America is not a two party state and that there are several other parties out there with which the people can associate themselves with depending upon their personal preferences on how a country should be run or what policies they would like to see implemented. There are several reasons why the two major parties dominate the political landscape. One of the…

    The first policy that I would like to talk about is “Putting Americans back to work”. In this policy, Democratic Party is helping Americans to get back to work by creating new jobs. They have taken many actions for unemployed Americans, one of them was American Jobs Act to provide an immediate boost to the economy and strengthen the recovery. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans without adding a dime to the deficit.

    After looking at both parties positions, I can say I am not surprised by the stances they have taken on the issue represented. For the democrat stances, many of their ideas favoured equality and calling for progress and change on many prominent issues. Such as how Democrats called for "policies and investments in order to keep America's public lands public". On the opposite side of this issue, the Republicans stated that that "our air and waterways are much healthier than they were a few decades ago". This stance from the Republicans shows how their more conservative and traditional views correlate to these stances on the topics.…

    The party is concerned about the raise of incomes for the middle class as well as supporting working families and protecting worker’s fundamental rights. Personally, I believe the main difference between the two parties is the visualization of how does a great America looks like, e.g. Republicans strongly believe in traditional marriage as the foundation of society, something that democrats are not totally convinced and support full equality under the law of same-sex couples. Nevertheless, this is only a few examples of the differences between the two parties. Stance on Abortion, Military issues, Etc. Is something that’s part of these parties’ agenda and discussed from very different point of views based on their values and…

    Republicans and Democrats agree that some government programs are necessary, but disagree regarding how they should be funded and overseen. In general, Republicans prefer most of the responsibility of government programs to rest with state and local governments, while Democrats favor much stronger involvement by the federal government. For example, the ongoing debates about health care and education reform. Both parties agree that changes are necessary, but Republicans tend to favor allowing the states to work out needed changes while Democrats favor more direct federal oversight and involvement. The Republican Party's platform suggests that the role of government is to protect individuals' rights and that individuals and society as a whole…

The view that is presented to citizens is that the Democrats are for the colored and women while the Republicans are for the rich, caucasian, old men.

Democrats are the ones for these examples and the Republicans are the ones that oppose.…

    Gender roles did not necessarily begin with what is a man’s job and what is a job for a woman, it went off of more on how each gender was built. A man would typically have more strength and possibly stamina than a women making it easier for him to do plowing and other heavy lifting or duty tasks. While a woman would just work on whatever else there was to do such as laundry or sewing, it would have been easier for a woman to sew instead of a man because they had smaller fingers where has men had larger strong hands making outside work easier for him to do. It was not seen as what is manly and unmanly or what is woman’s work it was just seen as who was built better for what tasks. Even though society has changed and evolved this the beginning…
