Sixth Party System
Period in United States political history
The Sixth Party System is a term used by some political scientists and historians to describe the period in United States political history that began in the late 20th century and continues to the present day. This era is characterized by significant changes in the political landscape, including shifts in party alignment, voter demographics, and key issues.
Overview
The Sixth Party System is marked by the realignment of political parties and the emergence of new political coalitions. This period follows the Fifth Party System, which was dominated by the New Deal Coalition and the Democratic Party from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Key Features
Political Realignment
One of the defining features of the Sixth Party System is the realignment of political parties. The Republican Party has increasingly attracted support from Southern and rural voters, while the Democratic Party has gained strength in urban areas and among minority populations.
Voter Demographics
The Sixth Party System has seen significant changes in voter demographics. There has been an increase in the political participation of Latino, African American, and Asian American voters. Additionally, younger voters have become a more influential demographic, often leaning towards the Democratic Party.
Key Issues
The key issues of the Sixth Party System include economic inequality, healthcare reform, immigration policy, and climate change. These issues have polarized the electorate and have been central to the platforms of both major political parties.
Impact on Elections
The Sixth Party System has had a profound impact on presidential elections, congressional elections, and state elections. The realignment of party support has led to closely contested elections and has made the political landscape more competitive.
