American Political System: Difference between revisions

 

There are two major parties in the US today. Americans' general feeling about these parties is that one is [[Kick the Dog|evil]] and the other is [[What an Idiot!|inept]]. Which is which depends on who you ask.

 

* The '''[[wikipedia:Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]''' is traditionally viewed as being center-left, although in most Western countries, they would be considered centrist or tepidly social-democratic. Somewhat socially liberal and fiscally left-wing (although they have a small fiscally conservative contingent). Strong in urban areas, the Northeast, and the West Coast, and among minorities, youth, and poor-to-working class voters. They currently hold the [[Barack Obama|Presidency]] and the Senate.
