The Greatest Democracy in the world, or is it?

America is in a very unique spot in terms of Politics. The citizens all have extremely varied opinions in terms of politics. There are the Republicans which want little to change and everything to be traditional, and conservatives which are very supportive of the republican views. On the other side of the spectrum, there are the Democrats, which are open for change, and are okay with things changing. On the Democratic side, there are the Liberals, who like conservatives, are very supportive of their party. Whenever there is a new presidential election, there are maps created of the nation that separate the states into "colors." Blue states have a population that is mostly supportive of the democratic party, and red states have a population that is mostly supportive of the Republican party. Therefore, the nation as a whole is conflictual, because the two political parties are always disagreeing and making different arguments.

The first reason why the United States is a conflictual nation is because it is divided into "red states" and "blue states." This shows that the nation is conflictual because there are many citizens that have varying opinions on the way that they think the nation should do things. The first video shows ways that the nation should be shown in terms of "red" and "blue" The nation is dividing itself into different sections of red and blue and is therefore isolating each state away from each other instead of trying to unite them. The blue and red map shows a whole state as either red or blue instead of determining it by town or county. The state is then thought to be Republican or Democratic based on the state as a whole, instead of each individual town. Also, the bigger states with a smaller population are also a key factor. A state can have a small population, but since it is a bigger area of land, it is thought to be more represented than the smaller states.

The first video demonstrated how the map of red states and blue states is not an accurate representation of what the map should actually look like. It said that the red and blue should be divided by county and not by the state as a whole.
