Democratic Party

First of all, if this paper was not assigned, I would still have watched the debate. Fortunately, this assignment added a little incentive to watching. For the last eight years, I have watched almost every debate, both the Primary and Presidential ones. However, for many Americans, this first Presidential Debate would be the first time they would watch and listen to these two candidates discuss the various current issues facing our country and their future plans to help solve or best mitigate…

appeal to the majority of the population to succeed in their race to the White House. In government, emotion and logic play a major role in the decisions made. Emotions enable many social issues to be resolved and it is mainly practiced by the Democratic party. On the other hand, logic in the lawmaking process is the main standpoint for the Republican…

The importance of participation in the democratic system was instilled in me by my family. I remember playing in the living room in the late summer of 2000 while my father watched the news, then dominated by Al Gore and George Bush. I remember liking Bush. My parents did too. He seemed warm and friendly, like someone I would enjoy meeting; a complete contrast to Gore who was calm, calculated and confident. At the age of 4, I began to grasp how important the election was, constantly hearing…

It is the American citizen 's responsibility to decide who will be the next…

Given the increased political power Republicans won in the last elections, from Washington to red-state legislatures, voters might expect the party to feel that the nation’s voting procedures are working quite well. Yet this is far from the case, as triumphant Republicans are using their enhanced clout to continue their campaign playing up the mythical threat that voter fraud abounds in the nation. The newest and loudest zealot in this cause is, of course, President Trump, with his scurrilous…
