hey, how are you finding US politics? Ive just started it too!

hey! I'm really enjoying it even though some things are rather complicated, defo prefer it over UK politics at the moment. I actually started US politics at the end of year 12 but my teacher has chosen to teach us the topics in a bit of an odd order aha 😂

Oh cool, I thought I'd hate it but it's pretty good icl, we started it towards the end of yr 12 but only the Supreme Court stuff lol. Which exam board do you do? I agree with some of the aspects of American politics being complicated, just learned about pork-barrel politics and I think I need a nap :biggrin:

its so easy to forget to look after ourselves at the moment, but we can't function properly if we neglect the things we need! all the best with your revision and everything overall ❤️
