Political parties in the United States have developed into a two-party system with the Republicans and Democrats as the major parties. Third parties exist but have never gained control of the White House, though some have won seats in Congress or lower levels of government. Third parties often form around specific issues or ideologies and seek to influence policy, but it is difficult for them to raise funds and compete with the major parties.

American political parties
American political parties have evolved over time from informal affiliations to established organizations. The US system is largely a two-party structure, with the Democratic and Republican parties dominating. Democrats tend to favor an active government role in citizens' lives and progressive change. Republicans prefer a smaller government focused on individual liberties and tradition. While third parties exist, the winner-take-all electoral system favors the two major parties. Political ideologies and party affiliations develop based on social and personal factors.

Political Parties
Political parties perform several key functions in American democracy including nominating candidates, organizing campaigns, informing voters on issues, and conducting governmental business if in power. The US has historically had a two-party system dominated by the Democratic and Republican parties, though third parties have influenced issues over time. Party identification among voters and party eras defined by the dominant party have shifted throughout US history.
Political parties and interest groups
Political parties in the US began with Federalists versus Democratic-Republicans and evolved into the modern Democratic and Republican parties. Interest groups try to influence policy through lobbying elected officials and mobilizing public support. Both parties and interest groups play important roles in elections, policymaking, and representing various constituencies in the political process.
Political Parties
Political parties are ongoing coalitions that work to elect candidates under a common label. They allow diverse groups and interests to unite behind a single alternative. The US generally has a two-party system due to its electoral rules and restrictions on minor parties, as well as public attitudes. The Republican party coalition consists primarily of white, middle-class Protestants, while the Democratic coalition includes groups like minorities, unions, and urban residents.
Parties and what they do
Political parties serve several important functions in American politics. They nominate candidates, campaign and define issues to inform and activate supporters, act as a bonding agent by guaranteeing candidates are worthy of office, govern according to partisanship when in power, and act as a watchdog over the party in power by criticizing any blunders to use in the next election. The two major parties in the US are the Republican and Democratic parties, which focus on winning elections.
Political parties
Political parties have existed since the early years of the US government and perform vital functions for democracy, though they have also been complicated and subject to internal conflicts. Parties organize electoral competition, help translate public preferences into policies, and provide stability and accountability in government. The US has a two-party system with the Republican and Democratic parties dominating, which discourages the success of minor parties. Political parties are essential to democracy but have also been subject to criticism and reforms over the years.

Development of Political Parties (9.1)
Political parties serve as linkage institutions by allowing citizens to influence government through their ideas. Thomas Jefferson preferred more state power and trusted citizens over leaders, while Alexander Hamilton preferred national power and distrusted citizens. The Democratic Party traces its roots to Jefferson and populism, while the Republican Party was founded to end slavery.

Federalism
Federalism is a system of government where power is shared between a central federal government and state governments. Under federalism, the federal government has enumerated powers while states have reserved powers not granted to the federal government through the 10th Amendment. Over time, the scope of the federal government has expanded as it takes on new responsibilities in areas such as the economy, social policies, and issues that cross state boundaries. The balance of power between federal and state governments has shifted through Supreme Court rulings and policies that increase or decrease centralized power.
Public opinion
Public opinion polls have been used since 1916 to estimate public views on issues. George Gallup's polls were more accurate than Literary Digest polls in 1936 because Gallup used random sampling. Traditional polls determine question wording and sample selection carefully but have shortcomings like margin of error. People form opinions based on self-interest, beliefs, cues from leaders, ideology, and knowledge. The media landscape has evolved from partisan print to radio, TV, and online/social media. The government regulates media through the FCC while respecting free press. Media cover politics through press releases and conferences but focus more on negativity.
