MAIN ĐẢNG ? US also has Tea Party – which is not the place people enjoy the tea and OOOh DRAMA, it’s the actual party Today, America is a multi-party system The Democratic Party and the Republican Party dominate modern politics in the United States Other parties, often generally termed “third parties” The main difference between the two parties is, indeed, their political orientation The Democratic Party is left-leaning, liberal and usually associated with progressiveness and equality The Republican Party, instead, is right-leaning, traditional and associated with equity and economic freedom and with the ideal of “survival of the fittest” Given their different origins and opposing political orientations, the two parties clash on a number of fundamental issues: tax, health care, abortion, labor and free trade,… US Presidential Election: Have you ever wondered that the US has so many parties but only parties stand for election? ye everybody right �)) Americas distinctive nominating process this is an actual additional structural barrier to third parties In most nations, partisan nominations are controlled by the party organizations But in the United States, it is the voters who make the ultimate determination of who the Republican and Democratic nominees will be This system, of course, contributes to the fact that the United States has weaker formal party organizations than most other democracies - So how they get into the white house ? The US Presidential Election takes place every four years Candidates must be at least 35 years old, born in the United States and lived in the US for the previous 14 years to be eligible After the general election at local and state scale, the presidential candidates go to rallies and take part in debates to win the support of voters across the nation Moreover, they explain their plans and views to society Electoral College : On Election Day, voters go to the polling place and cast their vote for their preferred candidate The voters elect their President and Vice President indirectly Both are chosen by electors through the Electoral College process States are allocated electors based on the number of seats they have in the House of Representatives and Senate A candidate has to "win" at least 270 electors in order to become President 1.1 Voting behaviour 1.1.1 Voter turnout The 2020 presidential election is over, President-elect Joe Biden assembled a large enough coalition of voters in key states to unseat President Donald Trump and become the 46th president of the United States The 2020 US presidential election has recorded the highest voter turnout in 120 years( 70%) , while In 2016, US had registered 56 per cent voter turnout, while it was 58 per cent in 2008.an estimated 239 million people were eligible to vote this year Socioeconomic factors such as education, income, gender, age ( reflects issues that people care about Older people are more likely to vote than young people and are more likely to be politicians.) , and race significantly affect how likely individuals are to vote Biden’s successful bid relied on winning margins among young and non-White voters, college graduates, independents and those concerned with racial inequality and containing the coronavirus pandemic Especially, media has a significant role for reaching youth and reports a massive and continuous increase in engagement during this election cycle That’s why u can see that now every candidate has at least one Twitter profile and Facebook page 1.1.2 Factors impact on voting ideology Political scientists sometimes refer to the process by which individuals establish their personal political ideologies as political socialization And they have identified four main agents that contribute to our political identities Family: And parents are usually the first people that express political opinions to kids If you respect your parents and admire them, it's likely you will adopt their political ideology On the other hand, adopting an opposing political view can be a form of rebellion Social groups, which in this case, refer to one's race, gender, religion, or ethnicity E.g.: African Americans and Jewish people are among the most liberal Americans while white Catholics tend to be conservative Gender : The gender gap refers to the fact that women tend to be more liberal overall than men This is especially true on the issue of national defense where they tend to favor spending reductions rather than increases Education, This is the most formal way that our political views are shaped since almost allAmerican students take at least one year of American history, and many states require courses in civics Political conditions Example : If you came of age during the Reagan era, when popular politicians were singing the praises of self-reliance and calling government the problem rather than the solution, it's likely that you'd develop conservative political views 1.2 Political forces 1.1.3 Lobbyists and Special Interest Groups Lobbyists try to influence members of Congress to get laws passed that will help the group they represent often lawyers Lobbyists work for groups called interest groups Interest groups are organized groups of people who share a set of goals and try to influence the government to make laws that support these goals They also have an important role in election campaigns they can by mobilizing voters or by putting direct pressure on elected officials Today, lobbying is sometimes done by volunteers, but it’s often a full-time job paid for by interest groups - Some examples of interest groups are: The NRA or National Rifle Association, who represent people concerned with Second Amendment gun rights;
