What was learned from the presidential election 2016

Through the classroom examination of election issues and the candidates I learned that there are different political parties and different types of people/voters. There are different parties like democrat and republican that I did not know of.    Also I did not know and learned about the political parties that there was a conservative side of each argument and a liberal side of each issue.  I also Learned that there were more than just two candidates that people are voting for.  There are Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. I thought that there was only Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump before we started to do the presidential election  in school.
