The USA has a two party system. The republican party is seen as conservative and the democratic party more liberal. The former president was Donald Trump (Rep.) and the current president is Joe Biden (dem.). There are elections every 4 years.
Fun fact: the republican party uses an elephant and the democrats a donkey as symbol.

In the US a lot of people drive. 84.1% have a license. This is a lot compared to the rest of the world where the average is around 16 to 17%. Most people in the US drive because they need to go to places like work. they use cars because there are no better alternatives. Fun fact: The legal driving age is only 16 years old!

Some people have to drive five hours to their work. And biking would take too long.

A suburb is a part of the city that lies on the outskirts of that city. This neighborhood is often relatively new compared to the city center and is not adjacent to the center. Most of the time it's a expensive neighborhood.
People live in a suburb because you have a lot of space and it is quiet.
Cul-de-sac is a dead end or street with a turning facility at the end. A cul-de-sac is used today in residential areas to reduce through traffic.
Yes, we would like to live in a suburb, because you can live in big houses and you have a lot of space.
