Relationship between voters and political parties

Question

Describe the relationship between voters and political parties and whether this relationship has become more or less democratic. Give specific examples of events or processes to support your position.

Answer 1

Personal opinion based on 64 years of personal observation: the parties are broken, the voters are no longer informed thoughtful citizens, and ideology has ruined the U.S.A.

 

Evidence: observe the unending slinging about of labels: Libtard, snowflake, alt right. This is no substitute for POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, debated articulately and fairly. 

 

Other items of proof: the ghastly performance of the incumbent president; the pathetic raging in Congress to pass legislation designed only to destroy a health care system rather than to adjust it to make improvements for the greater good of the greatest number of people.
