Hey there!
Political parties are groups of people separated depending on their political beliefs. There are two main political parties (in the United States): the Republican party and the Democratic party. The symbol of the Democratic party is the donkey, and the Republican's symbol is the elephant. Democrats are usually associated with wanting higher taxes and a large government, while Republicans want lower taxes and a smaller government. Also, Democrats usually believe in the people and stopping climate change, while Republicans usually believe in building the economy and climate change isn't a priority.
Hope this helps, and have a terrificly amazing day!
P.S. Let me know if you need more help :)
