Question: One reason democracy is prized is that it is supposed to allow for ideological diversity. Examining Canada’s 2015 Federal election or the American 2016 Presidential election, does democracy in either of these cases reflect ideological diversity?
After examining the more action packed 2016 American Presidential election compared to the Canadian federal election, there are 2 main thoughts in the mind of democrats, that is the feeling of disbelief and fear, because Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States of America. How could this happen? How is it that the politically incorrect, bigot, liar, cheater and crook who goes by the name of Donald Trump president. All the polls before the election had Hilary thinking so highly of herself that she ordered fireworks that would go off when she won. I have the answer to this question, and that answer is Ideological Diversity. This election confirmed to the world that there is ideological diversity in the United States maybe in fact, a more diverse pool of polar ideas to draw from then we have ever seen before. The first reason that there is immense ideological diversity in America is highlighted through their educational system. A system that is corrupted by democrats whom find themselves in a position which they can directly shape the fabric of American politics but failed to do so in 2016. Secondly, the media in both America and Canada has an extreme bias to put their own views forward and suppress that of the
The 1992 and 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections were two of the most famously negative campaigns in history and share multiple similarities despite being separated by twenty years. In 1992, incumbent President George H.W. Bush was seeking reelection against Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, while the 2012 general election saw incumbent President Barack Obama seeking reelection against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The campaigns of both incumbent presidents incorporated heavy use of television attack advertisements in the attempt to improve their political image, discredit their opponent, and win reelection.
The US Presidential Election of 2000 featured George W. Bush and Al Gore. It will go down in history as one of the most closest elections¡¦ in US history. It also goes down as one of the most controversial. The final decision was based on just a few hundred votes in Florida. The controversy began when the media prematurely declared the winner twice based solely on exit polls. They finally conceded that the Florida count was just too close to predict. It would take a month before the election was ultimately certified after numerous court challenges and vote recounts. Republican candidate George W. Bush was declared the winner of the Florida¡¦s 25 electoral votes. This was a victory by a razor thin margin of popular
American presidential election of 2016 was a few weeks ago, many are scratching their heads following the outcome result. Many, including myself are, asking the question who voted to bring Trump into office? No the better question is who did not vote to keep Trump out of the office. This must have been the same feelings and questions people had in the election of 1968 with Nixon, as the options they were left with to choose was not one of which many were enthused about. Richard Milhous Nixon born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2) Donald John Trump, born in June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. Both were one of five Children of their families. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2). In both of their of biographies, Nixon attended Duke University and earned a degree in law but Trump attended Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated with a degree in economics. What lead these two in to politic and clinching the title of the presidency as “Law and Order candidates.
The presidential election of 2016 has been by far the most talked about and interesting topic in recent history. Not only will the United States be choosing their 45th president, but will also be choosing their future to a better “American life.” Both candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, are openly critical about their opponent’s actions and qualifications as presidency. Although the polls are tight between both candidates, I believe that the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, will win the presidency because not only does she have experience as a former secretary of state and U.S senator, but she was the first lady, she is a “lifelong advocate of women and families,” who is willing to reform the financial and immigration status of this country.
In the United States of America, the presidential elections are based on the Electoral College. The Electoral College is combined of the house of senators, House of Representatives in every state, and the U.S. Congress which is the head. In each state, a senator and, a representative’s get one electoral vote, whosoever they cast their vote in for earned that electoral vote. Usually those Senators, and representatives cast their vote for their party’s. In my opinion, I think is unfair to citizens, that the Electoral College show no regards, but select electors cast their votes to determine the President, instead of the popular votes choosing the winner. Example of how the Electoral College gets to pick who the next president is, are shown in the 2016 presidential election that was between two presidential candidates, one named Hillary Clinton, who is a Democrat, and Donald Trump, a Republican. Hillary Clinton received less electoral vote, and more popular votes. Donald Trump received more Electoral votes, and less popular votes. Although more people voted for Clinton, Trump won the election since he had more electoral vote, and the electoral vote decide the winner of the presidential election. Donald Trump is not the only candidate that has won the election by the (Electoral College) electoral votes. Statistics have shown that this 2016 Election is not the first time candidates have won the popular votes, but lost the election because of the 270 Electoral College
In the finally tally of 453 electoral votes. The United States of America 's new President is Hillary Clinton. Many have said that this is the election that will be marked down in history. America will have their first women President in the year 2017.
The presidential election is being watched more closely by foreign ministers, and governments around the world. To remember a candidate out of step like Donald Trump with the existing foreign policy is hard. His views are at a disagreement with the policies that have controlled foreign policy for years. A president with opposing views of other countries, would be a problem for most
The 2016 presidential election, one of the most controversial elections in recent history. The two main party nominee’s Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Many people would say that they don’t like the two main choices for the presidency. A poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal and NBC news was taken in mid summer 2016 that showed that Hillary supporters voted for her because they did not like Trump. While Trump supporters voted for Trump because they did not like Hillary. It is easy to say that voters are voting for their respective candidate choice because they do not like the other candidate. It is a proven fact that emotion is stronger than logic when it comes to the mental process, so people are ignoring the facts and solely voting on emotion. Trump supporters believe that Hillary wants to take away guns. While Hillary supporters think Trump is not fit for office because he is not a politician. Hillary wants to start investment plans while Trump has focused on illegal immigration. In the past years it has seemed that The United States has been in a constant struggle with the war in the middle east and national debt issues. We need a president with the initiative to change that not a lying corrupt career politician such as Hillary Clinton.
Commander-in-chief is the most powerful position to hold in the world. It involves making the most important decisions that will impact each citizen, other countries, and future generations to come. It takes someone who will be tough, commanding, and assertive. Our country needs someone who will fight for us, being pro-active rather than being all talk. They must defend and enforce the laws of the land which our founding fathers enacted. The 2016 presidential election is one of the most crucial elections yet. Decisions will be made that will have permanent consequences on us and on our country as a whole. Most importantly it will determine the direction of the Supreme Court. Our country certainly cannot go on as it has. Our country must act now and put the correct candidate in office before it is to late. We need someone with a lot of stamina. We must vote for someone who is fit, whose polices are in favor of this country, and who will work to benefit every American. The candidate and person we must elect as our president is Donald Trump.

November can be considered as one of the most brutal months of the year. Depends on what year it is, there is a chance that you will argue with someone at the dinner table when it comes to politics or the presidential elections. One thing we need to remember is that everything will be okay no matter what.
In November of every four years, the United States must select its president. In the United States, the president is not only the head of state and head of government, but is also the commander-in-chief of the largest and most powerful military in the world. From the 300 million residents of the United States, only two people ultimately have a realistic chance of become the next president of the United States. These two people, and the eventual president, are chosen through an odd process semblant of a democracy which lasts many months and costs millions of dollars. This process includes causes and primaries, culminating in a small body of individuals (called the electoral college), voting on the next president based on a winner-takes-all popular votes result from their respective states.
While the 2016 United States general election has been in itself special with regards to the deep division among the electorate and lack of favorability of the two frontrunners for the presidency, it still has the unique American system of being dominated by two major political parties; Republicans and Democrats. Over time these political parties have experienced massive changes but in modern America they have crafted very unique identities. With regards to social issues such as abortion rights and treatment of minority groups and economic issues such as fiscal spending, income taxes and welfare, Republicans in general have been characterized as mainly conservative, tax averse and against government entitlements while Democrats have been generally characterized as mainly liberal on these same issues. Altogether political affiliations to either the right or the left can be categorized based on their preference for stability. Liberals are generally seen as being more adaptable to a changing environment for example in the case for LGBTQ rights where the changing environment has generally led them to be more acceptable while
Here we are on the eve of the most important presidential elections in my lifetime, and the stakes could not be higher. As a Christian and a woman of color, I will not be voting for Donald Trump. Never mind that there are some pastors demanding that their congregation vote for this man, not for any reason but to “save America!” And my question is this…from whom and from what?
It is our favorite time of year again--election time. This election season we have an amazing array of candidates, especially on the GOP side. The candidates are such great quality that some of them have never even held a political office. For example, we have a brain surgeon and a media personality running. How does being great at brain surgery and media make you fit for a presidential candidate? You tell me I am still trying to figure that one out too. However, the candidates with the least political experience are actually doing the best in the polls. One candidate that seems to be untouchable right now is GOP candidate Donald Trump. The most unorthodox, radical candidate you will probably ever meet--besides Hitler of course.
