    Political parties in the US are groups that organize to gain and use political power. The two largest parties are the Democratic Party, founded in 1828, and the Republican Party, founded in 1854. While a two-party system is simpler, it can discourage alternative views and voter choice. Third parties still influence the system by contributing new ideas. The major parties generally represent left-leaning liberal values for Democrats and right-leaning conservative values for Republicans. Early parties included the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans.
