In the most recent democratic debate, I believe Bernie Sanders won. I think he won because many of the other candidates really agreed with him. Also I just agree with what he said mostly. But a lot of the following comments from the other debaters started with, “I agree with Mr. Sanders”, or something along those lines. Although I didn't get to see where the debate went because my Humanities class ended before the two hour debate was over, it looked like it was headed in the Sanders direction. I feel as if he didn’t get as much applause as some of the other candidates, however in my opinion he did take the win. I think that there also was the least amount of criticism for him, as Hillary definitely had a lot of criticism about changing her mind and she spoke a lot about that instead of what she would do for the country if she was elected.
People with the same ideologies tend to stick together. Democrats with Democrats, Republicans with Republicans. Each political group having their own ideas and perspectives on a certain issue. This is what the Big Sort is. People who like people with the same ideas as them tend to form their own little cliques and further fortify their perspective. I have seen this in my own life with skiing. I stick with people who ski, and people who ski stick together. This is all great until we meet the deadly snowboarders on the hill who stick together as well. There is this clash in the snow sports where each of our groups make fun on the other. Going back to the political part, Democracy is all based on The Big Sort idea. People who have the same perspective make the majority of the arguments and trump others, or "win". The Big Sort idea is an accurate one, and I always see it coming up in my own life. |
