An individual or group that is actively involved in politics who deal with issues that deal with a lot of political topics that most politicians that are from the political mainstream won't deal with, and take positions on issues that most politicians will not take.

Kailani: I heard that U.S. Representative Brendan Boyle reintroduced the STABLE GENIUS Act, which would require presidential candidates to have a medical exam, including a mental health examination, and publicly disclose the results before the general election.
Ian: I heard about that. Regrettably, after the house voted to send the bill to the House Committee on House Administration, they never heard back about it. I suspect the bill might have encountered a large amount of opposition because most of the political candidates don't want to publicly admit that they have a mental health issue.
Kailani: It was generally a good idea nevertheless. Brendan is a good example of a political underdog.

Pema and her family moved to America from Nicaragua in the hopes of starting over and help her children live better lives than what they had in their homeland, but they found it was exceedingly difficult to live in the U.S. because of the differences of America’s social norms compared to Nicaragua’s social norms and difficulty getting a job and finding decent housing. They are experiencing the American dream paradox.

They are Representative James Stanton, Senator Bernard Sanders, Senator Angus King Jr., Senator James Jeffords, Delegate Victor Frazer, Resident Commissioner Baltasar Corrada, Senator Harry Byrd Jr., Senator Dean M. Barkley, and Representative Justin Amash. All of them were independent, but Justin Amash changed to a Libertarian during his last year in office due to the barrage of partisan bickering from the Republicans and Democrats, which he was the first Libertarian to have held a seat in congress.
