Answer: There are many reasons for that:

  • There was party stability, and the dominance of both Democrat and Republican parties was strong, which led to a big impact in the lives of millions of voters.
  • The appearance of political machines, which were party organizations that incentivized people to join their party and increased their voter´s loyalty.
  • Political machines became a central element of life for civilians.
  • Political parties not only served the political needs of society, but also their needs for social services.
