- Neither party is perfect, but Republicans in Congress have been drifting towards political extremism since long before Trump, and they’re making it impossible for Congress to work the way it’s supposed to.

Over the past few decades, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have moved away from the center. But the Republican Party has moved towards the extreme much more quickly -- a trend that political scientists’ call “asymmetrical polarization.”
That asymmetry poses a major obstacle in American politics. As Republicans have become more ideological, they’ve also become less willing to work with Democrats: filibustering Democratic legislation, refusing to consider Democratic appointees, and even shutting down the government in order to force Democrats to give in to their demands.
Democrats have responded in turn, becoming more obstructionist as Republican demands become more extreme.
And that’s made it really easy for media outlets to blame “both sides” for political gridlock. As political scientists Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein explain in their book “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks,” journalists feel a pressure to remain neutral when covering big political fights. So politics coverage has been dominated by the myth that both parties are equally to blame for the gridlock in DC.
But they’re not. And the only way to stop Republicans in Congress from continuing their drift towards the extreme is to be brutally honest about who’s responsible for breaking our politics.

This is actually not how politics were for most of the US history. Historically the 2 parties fought for the middle of the country, and it actually had a more moderating effect on politics. Compare that to multi-party systems which can make smaller more ideologically fringe parties in a position of power in their coalitions. So it's not the system, but it's other cultural and social changes in the last 30-40 years that have led to increased polarization. And no, it's not the "Republicans" fault. Both parties are responsible, it takes 2 to tango.

@@-i1007 Incorrect. If people want to vote for a third party, the presence of the third party in politics is the result of that voice being represented in government. Limiting the system to one choice or the other limits people in terms of what they're allowed to express by voting. A two-party system essentially constrains voters to either one polar opinion or the other, and having more representatives from different parties with different beliefs in every election would make that much, much less of an issue.

The problem with politics is that the parties care more about beating the other party then helping America
True since Dems have done the same thing that Republicans did during the Obama administration during Trump's and now the only one saying anything about their policies is Trump while Dems have run a slander campaign and used the protests turned riots as well as covid(which fun fact, the US has always had an issue dealing with epidemics) to slander Trump even though all they do is talk and don't show any sign of cooperation even though Republicans have gone on Fox News and stated that what happened to Goerge Flyod was a tragedy and that Covid is a serious issues.

I'm from India and this same thing happens in my country also, rather than considering each other adversaries who can work with each other,both decide to blame each other and refuse to work together to solve the problem of the people.
The purpose of the video seems to be to highlight that the issue at hand may not be the result of actions taken by both sides but a broader issue. However I agree that Indian politics is a blame game.
im going to dig more into this study, bc this doesnt feel right. The party has shifted so much. At least the voter base a lot of ex libs like myself. soooo many classic liberal center left libertarians. Everyones pretty on board with LGBT (the OG 4). I'm an atheist with many conservative values. I grew up in the south and this is not what I see from the under 40 crowd of repubs. But the left is the reason I left the party. polticians may be voting the same, but the people have such extreme views and ideas that detract so much from party lines 10 years ago.

I think the issue is not that political parties emerged, but rather than key figures were so against them that they didn't account for how they would eventually emerge and then shape our politics. Parties are a logical way for voters to contribute to the course setting in a nation without each of them having to become hobbyist political theorists, the easy association of direction each party offers is extremely useful for the average person. It seems to me that regulating how parties operate is more realistic than wishing no parties existed.
Whether it happened officially it was going to happen either way.

I think it’s a fact of human psychology that we break down into two groups - those who put compassion first and those who put in-group identity first.
In Canada we have multiple parties. One of them is called the Conservative Party and one of them is called the Liberal Party. Most of the population finds themselves identifying with one of those, even though they have other choices.
So, shortcomings aside, a two-party system is the best reflection of the way people think.
Maybe ranked ballot voting creates a place where third parties can succeed. Canada’s government has floated the idea. I like it. We may be split 50/50 on our first choice, but we may have the same second choice. That kind of voting might have given us President Perot in 1992. Not sure I love that idea…
I agree. Election should be based on policies and helping america, but not for political parties.

The winner-takes-all rules have trapped us into a two party system. Just because technically more parties exist doesn't mean that the rules aren't deliberately rigged so that turning away from the top two parties is against your best interest.
America needs more than 2 parties in congress.
No, we never needed parties to begin with. We simply needed to hear and help each other out and have intelligent discussion with one another on the issues that we're dealing with.

Just as a counter-argument (I don't think the 2 party system is anywhere near perfect) but I've heard this as a pro 2-party argument. In other countries like Italy, there are many political parties, and it makes it near impossible for any one of them to get anything done because they face opposition from almost every other party and nobody is anywhere close to a majority. The fact that we have a 2-party system means that we can actually get things done.
@@gabrieljreed You should read up a little more on government systems in Europe. For instance, in Czech Republic, you have fractured parliament with no-one holding majority, but you form a coalition (compromising on your program with similar parties) to get that majority. It is harder to get stuff done, sure, but it is also harder for extremists to pass harmful legislation. The two party system is horrid imo, as for a party striving to win, they only have to appear to be lesser evil to their counterpart, not be actually any good.
@@TheZubata225 That's really interesting, I haven't heard that perspective before. Obviously I don't know a lot about it, but I just wanted to present it because it's an alternate perspective in favor of the 2-party system. I would love to have more options for president/Congress.

EDIT: i did not mean one party only, that would be extremely controlling and make our political climate even worse. what i mean is that i think that political parties have divided america and that instead of two parties that each pick a candidate all the people running for president should run independently. this is for many reasons
1. voting for a person not a party ( ex : people who vote republican no matter who the candidate is )
2. not getting stuck in a one or the other situation ( ex : “settle for biden” if you don’t want trump in office you have to “settle for biden” because if you vote on an independent or really small party you are basically throwing away your vote because only republicans and democrats win )

The only reason this has become a problem in the first place is because of the lack of choice we have. Having only two political parties is bound to end in disaster because they both have to be extreme to differentiate from each other.
With our current voting system, it's not gonna change anytime soon, or ever.
I think it would be near impossible to replace the system we have, as much as I agree with the statement. Both parties have been wildly successful for very long and they have many investors and many people looking out for either side that a reform to how the parties function is near impossible unless the American People are all on the same page.

And you kinda see it with Bernie Sanders in the Democratic party: both times he lost to safer, more neutral candidates. They feared his centre-left politics (I'm Canadian) would alienate too many voters. To appeal to as many voters as possible, every party should want to attract neutral voters. Which means gravitating towards the centre, with some variation in the smiles of candidates.
And yet, it doesn't seem to work like that with the Republican party. They just move more and more to the right, and their base just seem to follow them, dragging the whole political spectrum to the right, then somehow still getting the votes.
I... don't understand the United-States, it seems. I don't get how someone like Trump could get elected anywhere. Maybe some village in Florida. But president? Really?
"They're punching back"
I mean when someone punches you, are you SUPPOSED to sit there and let them?
Admit it..ALL politics is a circus show. It's not real. Put in place to make you think you have a choice. You do not. Stop letting them divide you
I don't want journalists to be neutral, I want them to he objective. Neutral and objective aren't the same thing
So you mean opinion
What is considered "natural" is actually democratic majority of the time, for some small examples the Washington Post, CNN, and parts of FOX too.
@@jackace4275 I'm a bit confused, do you mean neutral?

Vox: The Democrats are moderate and the republicans are far right
Bernie Sanders: Am I a centrist to you?
King Tomislav Mapping underrated comment of the day right here
I may agree with Vox on Democrats are moderate but you can’t be more true
The party as a whole, not individual candidates
Within the context of international political discourse, his positions are pretty much centre left. Even the conservatives in Australia and the UK are afraid to undermine their universal healthcare system.
Ah yes, we all know that one candidate who lost is representative of and influential to the position of the entire party

Admit it. If you had a bagel for breakfast there was a hole in your breakfast, but not when you finished.
A two party system is so wildly moronic.
1 step forward, 5 steps back. It’s all about undoing what the other person did. Rather than trying to move forward as a country.
It goes deeper than that, republicans may be going to the extreme end politically but democrats are going to the extreme end socially.
@Libertarian Socialist That's because it seems extreme to you. You are trying to make your views seem like they are everybody else's. Legalizing marijuana is extreme to some people. Did you ever think parents might not want the legalization of weed because kids might use it. Just stay in your little Vox bubble.

@@RaisedWhiteMist Thank you!
@@elizabethguillemette8632 They are not "equally" bad, that's a dull-witted assertion.
@@harlenkelly7331 What I mean bu this is that we shouldn't account for one party's actions, then let the other party get away scot free. While both parties can do amazing things, we can't just ignore their wrongdoings. To call that assertion "dull-witted" is just like saying that it's okay for the "top student" to cheat and to not be penalized for it, while scrutinizing only the other one that was cheating.
Why is it okay for one to get away with one thing, but not the other for the same mistake?
@Will Smith Is this one directed towards me?
@@elizabethguillemette8632 Saying both parties are equally bad is an inaccurate, demonstrably false statement.
It's analogous to stating that the US was equally bad when it fought against germany during ww2.
I honestly don’t know how we got to where we are today. We’re called the United States of America but yet the two parties are causing us to be divided. Hopefully one day we can get rid of the two parties
if one person came along that was unaffiliated, wanted to actually take care of the american people, and signed a legal document that says if their policies they campaigned for during the presidential race didnt help or benefit the US people within their 1st 100 days in office, they would resign, would you vote for them?
1876, the election year when Republicans and Democrats realized political power is far more important than any of their beliefs.
Before reading the comments: preparing for the absolute chaos of both parties going at it
10 seconds later: what people are actually in agreement that a two party system is part of the problem?!?
Yep
Its It's not the problem
It is a problem, but soon it will be worse. As the republican party gets smaller and the democrat party gets larger, we will soon be moving toward only democrat party.
Jantheking another step along the road to dictatorship
Mhmm, and What’s more interesting is when you compare republicans and democrats on a political compass. While we normally consider Democrats to be on the left their actually on the right close to moderate. Meanwhile the republicans are far right. The reasoning for this being the Cold War, and our fear of communism. Which means technically our two party system is a one party system.
It’s also why the right can become more and more right while the left stays mostly the same.
maybe we should have a voting system that encourages more than 2 parties.
You're absolutely right. In America, the use of Plurality voting ensures that, often, more than half the country is left unhappy about the winning party. In countries like here in Australia, we use preferential voting, which give a greater proportion of the population the party / candidate they want.
@@sadiyashiraj James Madison, 4th US President and author of several Federalist Papers; he's made a point many times that factions, now parties, within a democratic government is bound to lead to its corruption and possible downfall. And sure enough...
The problem is the left/right just forming a coalition to win control of the government even when they don't have enough votes as an individual party and you're back to the two party system.
Titanium Rain this doesn’t happen in proportional representative governments, like those used in most of Western Europe. Presumably a multi-party system in the US would be based on something similar.
