Political parties good or bad .....why?

There really shouldn't be any political parties. Because technically they should all be working for the better of the fellow American. It shouldn't matter Democrat or Republican or Independent it should all be for the people not the person.

parties are good, but just two parties is bad. Not many people perfectly fit into either. With more than one party the majority in congress could just be like 10 people, it stops one party from getting too much power and more accurately shows the make up of the country.

I think they are good because I am curious about people in a different way when I find out what political party they resonate with. I have a couple of friends who are very nice people & they are republicans. They are this because it was passed down in the family or they are surrounded by people who aggressively push this on them. They watch Fox news & they really don't think outside the box much. I feel so comfortable with all democrates so I am glad we can label ourselves this way.

regrettably, it is how that's and has been on the grounds that Millard Fillmore who became right into a factor of the Whig social gathering. style of unhappy thinking the 1st president, George Washington, became into no longer a Republican (social gathering did no longer exist yet) or a Democrat. He became into an self sufficient. yet the two events that have ruled ninety 8% of presidential elections because of the fact the 1st actual president have been the two Democrat or Republican. This has trickled to all elections of maximum each and every elected genuine working in a partisan election. that's unfair that different events get surpassed up, however the only thank you to insure a candidate is going to win is to vote for one belonging to a social gathering it is dominate- Democrat or Republican. some human beings waste their vote on a third social gathering candidate. yet, make no mistake, that's a wasted vote. That has only been the form via which our elections have been run on- one or the different of the two trendy events. in my opinion, i think of they could desire to dissolve the two events via decree and permit lesser events to grow to be the dominate events. possibly a much less huge-unfold social gathering could have a much better danger of having something executed which would be stable for the rustic. could no longer get plenty worse.

Depends.

The candidates believe in the party's opinions, so good.

You still must choose carefully and pick who will be best for the country.

If they replace individual ideologies, I'd say yes, bad.

Especially with the internet, but an angry mob where a fuctioning democracy could have been.

I think it is bad. There should be more because there are usually so many positions on issues

Bad. You label something it is easier to pass off lies for truth as long as the label is right..

On the flip side, it is easier to ignor something you label as unworthy to look into.

Bad, they centralise power in the hands of the few.

Good or bad for who, who are they really working for, neither for the average American.
