The capacity to recognise that politics is more nuanced and complicated than most people make it out to be as well as the ability to come to, express, and debate one's own beliefs and opinions with critical thinking while keeping composure when others disagree.

Get the political intelligence mug.abbreviation: P.U.S.; The only members of the U.S. Congress to belong to nonmainstream political parties or registered as independent for a long period of time between 1971- 2021. 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.
Why does the Political Underdog Squad matter so much? Because these politicians are the only politicians in Congress, over a fifty year period, be members nonmainstream political parties, which helps to keep the two mainstream parties in check.

Get the the Political Underdog Squad mug.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. Often times the odds of them being successful are slim, even if their positions are good ideas, or the topic is worthy of the government's time and resources, and they have a decent amount of support among the civilian population, because of the amount of opposition they receive from other politicians and or political groups.
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.

Get the Politics mug.A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.
The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.
by Vanguard 1998 March 11, 2021
Get the Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect mug.The processes by which society establishes new norms, expectations, and standards, and in some cases existing norms and standards are replaced, in regards to what is and is not acceptable in politics. These processes happen in various settings including schools, colleges, businesses, churches, news channels, and homes. These processes can greatly impact how people think, act, and behave in many different political situations. In the present, the processes related to this have been heavily shaped by the Republicans and Democrats and in turn many of norms and standards being made about politics strongly favor the views of those groups, which in turn gives the mainstream political parties more influence on political and social issues than the nonmainstream parties have. The best way to counter this issue is to give nonmainstream political parties more access to these institutions so they can have their views heard and in turn potentially shape some of the norms that are made, which can help make these processes more fair and representative of the different groups in society.
Zachary: A lot of people strongly support the Republicans and Democrats these days; even though their views on certain issues don’t really benefit many members of U.S. population. I wonder why so many people support them when it does not really benefit them to do so?
Amy: It is because of the fact that political normalization, the processes by which new norms and standards are made related to what is and is not acceptable in politics, has been very heavily influenced by the Republican and Democratic parties, which has led to most of the norms that are made to strongly support their views and not the views of nonmainstream parties, like the Reform Party, or the Constitution Party. As a result, most people in society don’t even consider voting for nonmainstream parties or support people who agree with their ideas.
