"In America the same political labels (Democratic and Republican) cover virtually all public officeholders, and therefore most voters are everywhere mobilized in the name of these two parties," says Nelson W. Polsby, professor of political science, in the book New Federalist Papers: Essays in Defense of the Constitution.
"Di Amerika Serikat label politik yang sama (Demokrat dan Republik) secara virtual meliputi semua pemegang kantor-kantor publik, dan oleh karena itu sebagian besar pemilik suara di manapun digerakkan demi nama kedua-dua partai ini," demikian ujar Nelson W. Polsby, guru besar ilmu politik, dalam buku New Federalist Papers: Essays in Defense of the Constitution.
