The American political landscape is a complex and ever-changing beast. With so many different voices and perspectives, it can be hard to know who to trust when it comes to politics. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the different voices in American politics and try to make sense of who knows best.

The American People
The American people have spoken time and time again throughout the history of the United States of America. From the very first presidential election in 1789 to the most recent in 2016, the citizens of this country have made their voices heard. And yet, time and time again, the American people are ignored.
The People Decide in Voting
Regardless of how people feel about certain candidates or issues, voting is an integral part of the political process in the United States. The American people have the power to decide who will represent them in office, and ultimately, who will make the decisions that affect their everyday lives.
In order to make informed decisions at the polls, it is important for voters to understand the issues that are important to them and the positions of the candidates running for office. It is also important to remember that voting is a privilege that comes with responsibility. When citizens exercise their right to vote, they are taking part in a process that has been essential to the success of democracy throughout history.
The Elite
The power of the elites in the United States has been on the decline since the rise of the Tea Party. The elites are the ones who have the money and power to make the decisions in government. They are the ones who have the education and experience to make the best choices for the country. However, the American people have been increasingly turning to outsiders and people with no political experience to lead the country.
The Elite Have the Money
The American political system has always been dominated by the wealthy. The Founding Fathers were wealthy men, and they created a system of government that favored the interests of the wealthy. This trend has continued throughout American history. In recent years, the influence of money in politics has grown even stronger.
Today, the wealthiest Americans have more influence than ever before. They can donate large sums of money to political campaigns, and they can use their financial resources to lobby for policies that favor their interests. As a result, many observers believe that the American political system is increasingly controlled by the “elite”—a small group of wealthy individuals who have disproportionate power and influence.
The Media
In a world where anyone can have a voice, it can be hard to know who to trust. This is especially true when it comes to politics. The media is often considered the best source of information on politics, but is that really the case?
The Media Decides What is Important
The American public relies on the news media to act as a watchdog of the government and report on issues of importance. In this way, it is thought that the media helps to keep politicians honest and ensure that the important issues are given attention. However, research suggests that the media does not always provide accurate or unbiased information, and may even manipulate what information is reported.
A study by Pew Research Center found that 62% of Americans believe that the news media is biased, and 54% believe that it is inaccurate. The study also found that 85% of Americans believe that the news media does not understand them. These findings suggest that the public does not have a great deal of faith in the news media to provide accurate and unbiased information.
There are a number of reasons why the public may perceive the news media as being biased or inaccurate. One reason is that, due to market competition, news organizations are under pressure to report stories that will attract readers or viewers. This can lead to oversimplification or even fabrication of stories. Additionally, news organizations often rely on government sources for information, which can lead to bias if those sources are not objective. Finally, reporters may have their own personal biases that distort their coverage.
Despite its shortcomings, the news media does play an important role in democracy by holding politicians accountable and bringing attention to important issues. It is important for consumers of news to be aware of its potential biases and be critical when consuming it.
The President
In a country as large as the United States of America, it can be difficult to please everyone with political decisions. That is the job of the President of the United States, to take into account the interests of all citizens and make the best decision for the country. But who is the best person for the job?
The President Decides What is Best for the Country
The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States, as well as Commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is one of only two officials elected by all citizens nationwide (the other being the Vice President). The role of president has changed considerably since its inception, and today’s president faces challenges that are very different from those faced by presidents in the past.
The president is responsible for making decisions that will impact the lives of every American citizen. These decisions are not always easy to make, and often require difficult choices between competing interests. The president must also juggle the many demands of the job, including managing the economy, keeping America safe, and representing the country on the world stage.
The President is often referred to as “the most powerful man in the world.” This is because the President has the power to influence many different areas of life in America and around the globe. The President can sign laws that will affect millions of people, appoint Supreme Court Justices who will interpret those laws, and pardon people who have been convicted of crimes. The President can also declare war, send American troops into battle, and negotiate peace treaties with other nations.
With all of this power, it is important for Americans to be informed about who their President is and what he or she believes in. It is also important to remember that while the President is an important figure, he or she is not all-powerful. The President must work with Congress to get laws passed, and with the American people to ensure that his or her policies are supported.
