Historically, the United States has basically implemented a "two-party system" in which the Democratic Party and the Republican Party take turns to govern by running for the presidency.
The Democratic Party of the United States was founded in 179 1, and was composed of some planters and entrepreneurs connected with southern slave owners. At that time, it was called * * * and the party. 1794 was changed to democracy and the party, and 1840 was officially called the democratic party. 186 1 After the civil war, the Democratic Party was devastated. 1933, Roosevelt took advantage of the people's dissatisfaction caused by the economic crisis to run for president, and won for four consecutive times, so the Democratic Party was in power for 20 years. The mass base of the Democratic Party is mainly labor, civil servants, ethnic minorities and blacks.
The Republican Party of the United States was founded in 1854, which is composed of representatives of industrial and commercial owners who oppose slavery in the northeast and agricultural entrepreneurs in developing states in the midwest. 1860, Lincoln was elected president, and the * * * party came to power, defeating the southern slave owners in the civil war and quelling the civil war. For more than 70 years from 1860 to 1933, except for 16, the United States was ruled by * * * and the party. The mass base of the party is mainly white-collar workers and young people in the suburbs and the south. After World War II, the middle class was its new supporting force.
There is no substantial difference in political views between the two parties. In the national presidential election every four years, the National Congress, the highest organ of the two parties, puts forward the party's presidential candidate and presidential campaign platform. The two parties distinguish between the majority party and the minority party by how many seats they get in the national assembly election. The number of party member in both parties is uncertain, depending on the voting situation. The symbol of the Democratic Party is the donkey, and the symbol of the Party is the elephant.
Simply put, the American Democratic Party helps the poor and the Republican Party helps the rich. Last year's general election, the economy was bad and there were many poor people. Obama of the Democratic Party won.
In fact, the difference between the two parties lies in the purpose of the party.
The Democratic Party emphasizes democracy more, while the * * * and the Party emphasize harmony and federalism more.
The Democratic Party hopes that the federal government will have more rights to collect more taxes and increase government projects. These projects can be welfare, increasing subsidies for the poor, specifying emission standards for harmful addresses, subsidizing medical expenses, researching human cloning and so on. In addition, the Democratic Party is more open and advocates sensitive topics such as gay marriage and cloning.
* * * Republicans want to devolve power to 50 states. They advocate tax cuts, but increase military spending, reduce the burden on large enterprises, give subsidies, and so on. * * * and the party is conservative, most people are Christians, superstitious, and do not support abortion and homosexuality.
