Talk:Fifth Party System

message: If the definition of a new political system is two sweeps of Congress and a landslide in the Electoral College, why doesn't 1804 qualify? Septentrionalis 18:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I have looked in vain for a proper definition of the word "Presidentiads", and have only references to it in writings, many of them of a poetic nature, most of them related to Walt Whitman. However, Merriam-Webster's Online Unabridged Dictionary says that there is no such word, so I'll assume that it is an appropriation of the word "Columbiad". That being so, what do you base your right to make use of a non-word without an explanation in the text, or a footnote?? - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 14:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fails to adequately characterize the realignment of the south 

message: Reading this as an outsider to the US, I don't know what the GOP is. Well, OK, I thought I did, but the article seems to imply that the GOP might not be exactly the same as the Republican Party - this impression is enhanced by the fact that the article is about realignments. This article at least needs a link out to a GOP article or a definition of GOP within its text. Over to someone else, because I am not confident to do this. 78.32.68.244 (talk) 20:13, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Barack Obama became the first African-American president in 2008, in an election held against the backdrop of severe economic problems caused by policies started or worsened under President George W. Bush but has significantly improved under President Obama during the Obama Administration.
That's obviously a very controversial statement, many economists and politicians would deny that. Wikipedia can not determine something like that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.47.74.232 (talk) 00:34, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV 

message: The article is a mess. It contradicts itself and it contradicts the Sixth Party System article.
The self-contradiction has to with whether and when the Fifth Party System ended. The lede leaves this question completely unresolved. However, the table relating to presidential election results (placed right next to the lede) indicates that the Fifth Party System covers the period from 1932 to 1966. Strangely, however, that same chart depicts presidential election results from 1932 to 1964. Then, a section of the article shows group voting patterns prior to 1964, which would appear to lend further support to a 1964 date.
The article contradicts the Sixth Party System article as well. The Sixth Party System article asserts that there is expert consensus for the proposition that the Sixth Party system is underway. This article indicates no such consensus. SunCrow (talk) 06:13, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed the contradiction and self-contradiction problems. The lede could still use a few more sources. SunCrow (talk) 09:43, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistencies

message: The infobox has links to the alignment and de-alignment presidential elections of 1932 and 1964 respectively.
This is similar to how the First (1) Party System infobox is set.
2-4 Party System infoboxes have the alignment year linked to presidential election (similar to those mentioned above), but de-alignment is linked to US elections (which all seem to be stubs listing house, senate results).
Opinion: All party systems should link to presidential elections, not to the stub; Definitely both should link to the same type of page.
I mention this here, since I noticed this while adding the infobox for 5; As of this writing, it is set similarly to 1, both (alignment and de-alignment) linking to presidential elections.
I will similarly add an infobox to 6, in similar fashion to 1 and 5 infoboxes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PointAdvance (talk • contribs) 19:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: PointAdvance, I have removed the infobox because it contradicts the rest of the article. The rest of the article makes it clear that there is no consensus as to when the Fifth Party System ended, and lays out various ideas as to when it ended. The infobox indicates that it ended in 1964, which is not even listed as one of the potential end dates in the body of the article. I would respectfully ask that the infobox not be re-added absent reliable sources showing a consensus end date of 1964 (any such sources should, of course, be added to the body of the article as well).
