Since a political campaign aims at influencing the decision making process of the general public, on a large scale it gives a 360 degree view to the voter about the candidate ,the agenda and also gives a perview of how this political party will boost the democracy and handle conflict in the country and make policies for the future.

Only because of the campaign the voter becomes powerful and insightful enough to take a decision and thus boost the democracy of United state.

-One way U.S campaign and elections hinder democracy:

During a campaign the candidates invest money to persuade voters .During this period candidate use various gimmicks which also include digital marketing.
