Political Parties Differences

Introduction:

When talking politics tension tend to flare, thus it is always important to separate facts from opinion. The point of shedding light onto Florida’s two main political parties (Republicans and Democrats) should not come with an agenda but rather simply be informative. Comparing and contrasting these parties based on their organization, policy position, and mission statements through the lens of their own words will help generate or change some opinions. Better understanding what makes and drives these two parties will better help those seeking to make a difference when exercising their right vote.

Extension 1 Leadership

In terms of leadership positions, both parties carry the same titles; structed as the following:

The Republican party on the other hand has the chair, and then vice chairman listed, with no definite subheading to a financial team. The parties definitely do differ on their online presence. For example, the Republican’s when stating their leadership simply have links to a Facebook page or Twitter, providing now other information about the person holding the title they represent (Florida GOP). While the Democrat’s instead offer a short summary of who the members are within their leadership page; although brief, it allows a reader to understand something about the official. With this said, both parties carry the same structure and more or less provided very basic information as to their leadership via their own websites. On the outside both parties look to want to keep official information to a minimum, leaving it instead to the title holder to make their own introductions to the world. Interestingly enough, both parties hold their own elections for the chairman of the state for their party. The recent election in Orlando saw great influence from the recent presidential election, as stated in a recent article from the Miami Herald, “there was major shake ups for both parties for

Both parties in mission statment, volunteering, and leadership are similar, both wish to help the communities around them just in different ways. Policies and rhetoric may dictate how issues are handled, but it is still up to the people to decide. As opinions change and parties shift ideas historically one has risen to become more popular than the other. Yet, as the book shows on page 97 and as current restergration from 2016 show, the current rate at which people register for either the Democrat or Republican party has fallen. In contrast, the amount of “other” resteratorers has risen 93% since 2015, meaning an additional 200,000+ chose to switch to or registered under a non-party or third party (Department of Elections). In years before, the change in party resignation meant the decline of the other, i.e. as Democrats fell Republicans rose. Yet, perhaps with the parties being so similar with the facade they put out the change coming will not be based on party title but rather by individual issues not collective voting towards one party. With this said, only time will tell for sure. For now, the two party system that dominate Florida shall
