Why do third parties usually not last very long in the American two party system

History
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
7 0

Third party systems have a difficult time competing against the Democratic and Republican parties for multiple reasons.



1) Lack of funds- Running political campaigns is extremely expensive. On a yearly basis, the Democratic and Republican party spend millions of dollars to help their candidates win office. Third parties have a difficult time raising this type of money.



2) History- The modern day Republican and Democratic parties have been around for roughly a century. People are familiar with their view, understand their platform, and are familiar with important individuals within the party. A third party usually struggles with these factors, as their new emergence comes at a time when a significant amount of Americans are already aligned with a specific party.

The reader can infer that malcolm X had an overwhelming desire to learn

The phrase  “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” was written by Malcolm X when he's describing his experience in prison.

He wrote that he basically spent all of his time in prison by reading a book. He read books on library, during breaks , and  on his bunks. He believed that even if other people threaten to beat him with a wedge if he does not stop reading the book, he'd still choose to read.

PLEASE HELP <br> What are some of the things Anne and the others miss while in hiding?
Sav [38]
In hiding, I'd say first of all she missed her friends, her cat, and normal life. She also missed "riding her bike, hearing the birds sing, getting a fresh breath of air, and laughing out loud with her friends".
