Jennifer started off answering questions from the video.

Then she moved onto a study about party ideologies, and looked
at questions about the data. While going through and answering
the questions, Jennifer emphasized the importance of several
things such as all conclusions must come from the data, and that
when a question says difference you need to have a before and
after or a cause and effect. After answering these questions
about the data, Jennifer moved onto the main topic of the video,
how political parties adapt. Political parties adapt to what
happens and what voters are looking for. Candidates want to try
and gain as many voters as possible, and often this requires
some form of compromise on issues. The Republican and Democrat
parties look along what are called “cleavages” or lines that
divide the public on issues and try to fill the gaps to increase
voters for their parties. Next Jennifer talked about realignment
and how realignment has occurred a few times in the past, such
as in 1932 and 1968. Then Jennifer posed the question “Was 2016
a realigning election?” As it turns out, while 2016 did have
some of the traits common with a realigning election, it missed
quite a few. Next Jennifer moved on to talking about
correlations in data and how for two parts of a data set to
correlate there needs to be some sort of logical reasoning and
direct way in which the two data interact. Then, segwaying back
into the main topic, she talked about how political parties have
to adapt if they want to stay relevant to the times and
guarantee a voter turnout for themselves. Another thing that is
crucial to party survival is funds. Finally, Jennifer concluded
by asking some questions related to the main idea of the video
and what she covered in it.
