Jonathan Haidt Watch the following video to learn more about how people group themselves by political ideology. Maybe at the root it’s not really about issues?

Third Parties? This is a “Two-Party” system right? There aren’t any rules directly excluding other parties from taking part in politics. There are some other parties that are active in politics, though since reconstruction 99% of major politicians at the national level have been from a Major Party.

Libertarian Party The Libertarian Party is a party of small government. They believe that the government should serve only the most basic function as protector of rights.

Green Party The Green Party is focused on environmentalism, civil rights, social justice, non-violence and anti- corporatism.

Or does his measures of ideology make more sense (harm, fairness, ingroup, authority, purity)? Do you fit well into a single major party? Or are you a mixture? Or are you a third party rebel?
