There has been 2 main political groups in the country & for the last 3 elections it has been close to 50-50 between the 2 ideologies.

Clinton 43.3% Bush Sr. 37.7% Perot 19.0% 37.7+ 19= 56.7
1996
Clinton/Gore 44,300,236 49%
Dole/Kemp 36,985,693 41%
Perot/Choate 7,665,172 8%
41%+ 8%= 49%
Perot’s ideology fell closer to Dole & Bush’s if you add it up things have been close between the two ideologies for over a decade in this country. The 2000 election wasn’t a major over throw of 1 political party.
George W. Bush (R) 50,456,169 48%
Al Gore (D) 50,996,116 48%
As the numbers show it was so close they both got 48%
Besides: is that not exactly what the USA does with respect to just about every other country?
Not exactly Most of the politicians know they would be voted out of office for voting in favor of things that go against the best interest of the US.
It's one thing to listen to others & entirely different to do things they favor which have negative effects on your self.
