The mounting surges of government infighting and discord between Republicans and Democrats has prompted questions about whether or not America’s two-party system is coming to an end, reports ABC News.
The Potential End of the Two-Party System
The country’s overall dissatisfaction with the current state of government is no secret. Real Clear Politics affirms that only 37% of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction. Similarly, the Congressional job approval rating rests at 19%. In just this year alone, two government shutdowns have occurred and many Americans are holding both Democrats and Republicans accountable.
To virtually no one’s surprise, the divisiveness has shown no signs of relenting. Republicans and Democrats currently remain at odds over immigration matters, particularly the fate of DACA and the creation of a Southern border wall. Some Americans have suggested that both sides compromise for the sake of finding a solution, however, this has not occurred.
