The United States is divided more than it’s been since the civil rights movement and I think a big part of that is the two parties that most people identify with in this country the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. These party’s have ran this country almost since its creation and now more than ever are starting to see the negative benefits with having two major parties controlling the narrative. Our country is being divided by the republicans and democrats.
Since the 2016 election our country has been dividing more and more by the day every time you look at CNN or Fox News they’re taking shots at each other or the other sides party. The constant argument of which party is right and wrong has to end if we want our country to move forward. It would be wrong to say that the 2016 election was the sole cause of this division the binary system that runs this country have divided the country into 2 teams that would love to see the other fail. When in reality we should all be on the same team and we should want the best for everyone that is in this country no matter what you disagree on.
John Adams warned, “a Division of the Republick into two great Parties … is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil”). John Adams one of the founding fathers knew the damage that a binary system could cause like divisive partisanship. Since 1980 there have been 10 government shutdowns and all because the people in Washington can’t put their differences aside. They are supposed to be able to put their differences aside and do what’s best for the people each time the government is shutdown people that work for the government can’t work and provide for their families, while the people who cause the shut down will be just fine. They always say that it’s for the good of the American people but if that was the case the shutdown would never happen.
“Extend the sphere,” James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 10 when he says this he is saying extend the sphere of influence that there shouldn’t be one giant group that controls the country but it also mean they’re should be two or three. Everyone doesn’t agree on the same things and that’s ok but what people with different political ideologies deserve to be heard but the truth is they won’t with the current political parties running the show. Fox owns multiple Television stations and production studios Same with Warner media. They have the ability to push their narrative on anyone who is willing to watch and listen.
I’m not saying anyone is wrong because they follow one of these parties I’m saying you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t look into issues and think for yourself. whether you think so or not these two parties benefit from you believing every word they say and they will continue to shape the narrative and push an agenda until we as Americans start thinking for ourselves and start holding our politicians to a higher standard. It doesn’t matter the party or ideals you align with the we all live in the same country so we have to find a way to get along and listen to each other.
