A research on the American political system shows that the Congress now is more divided than ever, pulled apart by two starkly different conceptions of government, while another recent survey of Harvard Business School alumni opined that American politics is broken and the American political environment could be among the most important threats to United States competitiveness. Viral claims by some Americans across the media have suggested that United States citizens cast extra votes in the 2020 US presidential election by using the identities of "dead people". In fact a lot of social media users alleged that a large number of dead persons' ballots have been registered in swing states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan. Thus, whether the claims are true or false, this is an act capable of derailing an election into fallacious conclusions.If you have been paying attention to American politics in the past few years, you will notice that the American political system you know is failing and crumbling. Gone are the days of fair representation and altruistic politicians who want nothing more than to serve the people who elected them. In addition, the issue is much more foundational and lies with a crumbling system long out-dated which is in need of reform.A more worrisome issue that is tremendously adding more problems to American Politics is the way it is recently slowly sliding and digressing to the footpath of African politics with bribery and corruption increasing on a daily basis. While American constitution makes it clear that a president who engages in bribery "shall be removed from office," it was recently reported openly in Washington Post that the President of United States solicited a bribe. In addition, while Americans are profoundly always talking in the media of the popular theme, appeal of freedom, citizen action, and political diversity, it is very disappointing to point out that in the real sense, many of the Americans do not seem to actively pursue these political interests as a way of life. Another persisting problem is millions of Americans from across the political spectrum are frustrated with the status quo in Washington and the gridlock in Congress that has become its defining feature but still; the status quo persists to no avail. Thus, despite the constant activity generated by the uproar of the electoral process, the congress remains mired in gridlock and the people remain frustrated.It is true that America is a great nation, but that does not mean it cannot have problems. American political and governmental system is out-dated and warped, and this has made the overall political system begin to become obsolete with problems of winner takes it all syndrome, win at all cost attitude, bribery and corruption, long history of rancour, vigorous rivalry between the two political philosophies, vigorous competition that spurs progress, and problem of nominating power to create a judicial majority that favours own political party. Recently, a Food Bank Director said that "In his 30 years of doing his work, he has never seen something egregious as this: the Agricultural Department mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families must include a letter from the President claiming credit for the program." This is obviously not different from what used to happen in African politics.Concisely, Americans of different ages and all levels have claimed that the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections were marred by large numbers of people voting illegally but the truth is, this allegations of fraud whether true or false can make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to participate in elections, which can directly or indirectly boomerang in the American politics as a whole.Overall, the stereotype of problems of African politics is gradually prevailing more and more in American politics and the status quo may persist if not controlled, making tyranny become inevitable.
