Democratic And Republican Platforms

Leah Said:

Democratic/Republican platforms!!?!?

We Answered:

Well, since the platforms are voted on starting at the precinct level... and since they are issues that are brought up by individuals, I'd say the platforms are very relevant. I did a brief stint of political activism in the late 80's. I got involved at the precinct level and got a good grasp of how platforms come to be and all the nuts and bolts of the political process. Issues are debated and defended and then voted on. Only the issues that get elected move up to the next level of debate. Issues move slowly up the ranks this way and eventually, the winning issues are the platform the party candidate bases all his or her lies... er promises on.

In short: every election, the platform is very relevant to the issues of the day.

**EDIT**
The difference between the parties and their issues is in the perception of HOW those issues should be dealt with.
