What the Populist Party stands for is a group of people fighting for the rights of the farm workers conditions and laborers so that they will not have to work in unfair conditions. The Populist party fought for public ownership of railroads, increased currency issue , more income tax, and the direct election of U.S. senators. It was also many more things but the Populists were people who were just trying to fight for something better not asking for unrealistic changes but more equality for all the handwork they do. I think they were a good example of what people should continue do today in the sense that if something is not fair or right then there should be a group of people to fight for change. Now there already is many organizations that already do this but the more people the more of a problem it will be for the people in power to actually push to take action. There are still so many things that need change in America and still are the same which is not good for anyone who just wants to be treated equally, treated the same, or change in having a right on who can have a gun so it does not end up in the wrong hands. What this party represented is that there is power that can not be ignored if the majority of the people in the place where they are from disagree with something. The problem with today is that politics instead of uniting people it is separating people in choosing between parties most likely the Republican and Democratic party. This is the reason why many things to not get passed becuase these two parties think the opposite from each other and they are the ones who are in charge of pushing for the good not for what think is right but what's best for the people. If a good amount of people go against one party then that would pressure the people in charge to do something becuase if they do not do anything then the people will not vote for them. It is sad to see things that should not be hard laws to pass not change when America for example has had too much problems with gun violence. The reason for that is becuase the people in charge are not doing enough to keep the people who give them the money back to keep them safe. Safety should not be a problem if there was more people in charge that paid attention to the people and did something about it. What I'm trying to say is that political parties should come together and agree on things that are serious like gun violence in which is one of the biggest issues here in the United States. Something can be done to at least make some difference to this gun problem becuase if we do not do anything about it now then it will keep on going and more lives will be at risk becuase the people in charge let people have whatever gun they want. Yes there is always people who find a way around this but there can be so many lives saved if the government can take action. Hopefully America can have more people that are willing to make changes to the law that help the people and not just say they will do something and end up not doing much.
