The Similarities And Differences Between Political Parties And The Republican Party

Political parties are a huge part of our government’s structure. Government parties help us know what a candidate stands for. For example, if you know a candidate is a Democrat, you can assume their positions on current issues based on well known beliefs of the Democratic Party. It’s also important to know that there are smaller parties or factions inside of political parties. For example, in the Democratic party, there are the socialists and the progressives. In the Republican party, there is the Tea Party and the conservatives. It’s also important to know what these different factions stand for because not all Republicans or Democrats think. For example, there is Bernie Sanders who is well known as a socialist. He wants to take down Wall Street and also make college education free. There is also Hillary Clinton who is a progressive. She does not want to take down Wall Street and also doesn’t want to make college free. Knowing the difference between the many factions of the political parties will help you discern the different opinions of the many politicians and help you become an informed voter.
