Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:06

Brought to you by party identification a cici for the

00:09

weekends Recent elections show that party identification is what And

00:17

here the potential answers it's like you identifying with a

00:20

political party Got that Yeah we know we know labels

00:23

are so overrated But in the case of political parties

00:26

people usually tend to identify with a group of like

00:29

minded folks which can help with raising money influencing policy

00:33

and ruining thanksgiving Two recent elections show that party identification

00:38

is a increasing well The u s government hasn't had

00:41

a great run recently so people are a little hesitant

00:43

to put all their votes in one political party basket

00:46

So is out Have recent elections shown that party identification

00:51

is see remaining stable Well the number of independent voters

00:55

those claiming no party affiliation has increased dramatically over the

00:59

past twenty to thirty years so we can cruise past

01:02

sea as well Did the past few elections reveal that

01:05

party identification is de favoring the republican party Well i'm

01:10

not really the amount of voters identifying his republican has

01:12

pretty settling declined over the last ten years just like

01:15

any other party affiliation Maybe all the fuss about peanut

01:18

allergies has grown to elephantine proportions Could party identification he's

01:25

very depending on presidential candidates Well having a particularly charismatic

01:29

or particularly boring candidate can certainly affect how we vote

01:32

But in the last few elections people have been more

01:34

likely to support those individual candidates rather than the party

01:38

is a hole which means that recent elections show that

01:42

party identification is be declining Some political scientists argue that

01:47

we're in a period of de alignment which means that

01:50

fewer and fewer people are identifying with a political party

01:53

political spending through pacs political action committees rather than parties

01:57

as well as the growth of the internet or do

02:00

possible causes for this recent decline But if we were

02:02

in charge well we just order a cookie cake and

02:05

some punch to get things moving back in the right 00:02:07.89 --> [endTime] or left direction Ah
