Direct link to houlihanisabelle's post “It took a lot of energy, ...” It took a lot of energy, materials, and resources to print gold, so not everyone was able to obtain it. A lot of people complained about this because they couldn't pay in Gold. So some parties proposed printing silver money and more paper money in general as ways to make the public feel more equal.

Direct link to Zev Oster's post “Because humans have a ten...” Because humans have a tendency to bond with and trust people they agree with. Those become political parties, which filter the parties ideas, especially their good ideas, because to agree with those ideas would be to go against your entire worldview, as you are confident that all your beliefs are completely logical and based off all of your other logical beliefs, and that you know all facts, and nothing could be replaced with that system it going from "pure" to "impure." Confident that the other group will destroy the world with their universally disgusting and opposite belief, both sides engage in a war of extermination. As you can imagine, none of that has all been true at once since the world started spinning, but once a political party is formed, people start to accept party pragmatism, accepting and protecting the views of their party rather than, in good faith, processing all their knowledge into their beliefs, defending their beliefs, and boldly, independently negotiating for the advancement of those beliefs. We are supposed to all be in this together, and that is the only way to prevent civil war, and yet instead we are on the brink of civil war, because of political parties.

Direct link to David Alexander's post “People tend to group toge...” People tend to group together by ethnicity when in a foreign environment. I saw that while I lived in Taiwan, and find it among Taiwanese in America. So, Irish immigrants would tend to group together when in America. So would German immigrants. Persons wishing to gain political power within that community and eventually in the larger cities, states and even the nation would attempt to appeal to groups like this to gain votes when the immigrants eventually became citizens.

Direct link to David Alexander's post “They didn't want inflatio...” They didn't want inflation, they wanted access to capital for developing farms and building homes for families of common people. That required more money in the system, which had been limited to the amount of gold held in reserves. Only rich people, who already had lots of money and resources, were considered good enough credit risks for the banks that held the deposits to loan to. The poor were destined to remain poor. But creation of more money could lead to inflation, so the rich didn't want that. (3 votes)Want to join the conversation?
problems did it cause?
Democrats were better at that kind of community inreach.
The Populist Party (the Third-Party Movement you mentioned) never ran a presidential candidate under their own banner to any major success--they only won elections in the House of Representatives, which is much more little-p populist in nature, and therefore allows hypothetically more competitive races involving multiple parties.
Nobody wanted inflation, but the poor wanted access to credit by which they could build a foundation to prosper.
