Monday: We finished our presentations and started going over the the power point about politics today
Left side- democrat/ liberal
Right side- republican/ conservative
Most Americans are in the middle- don’t choose a specific party
3rd parties- these exist because some people don’t agree with either side and candidates know they won’t win but run anyway to give people someone to vote for other than the main parties.
Tuesday: We continued going over the Politics Presentation and took a class quiz over southeastern Europe
Sometimes there’s a split between beliefs in political parties. EX: 1912 election: Roosevelt created the progressive republican after he split from conservative republicans
Tea Party-2009: after bank bailout (government gives money to bank), new law for health care, and economic stimulus package
Protesting the strength of the federal government was similar to Boston tea party
Tend to be very conservative and libertarian “Don't Tread on Us” -We don’t want the government to tread on us with the debt and taxes.
