The act of claiming subscription to a specific political group while also supporting ideas that contradict or undermine that political group. Usually those engaged in political superposition will not directly voice their contradictions, favoring implicit or vague statements that when applied, result in situations contradictory to their political group.

Get the political superpositionmug. An individual who feels disconnected from all political parties, believing that none accurately represent their views or priorities. This term often applies to those who feel let down by existing political opinions, finding no party that aligns with their values or vision for the future. This particularly applies to individuals currently living in Alberta, Canada.

Get the Middle Eastern politicsmug. Yeah, I'll get right on that. I'm sure this is the necessary sacrifice. I mean it's obvious right? Because this would solve... Wait... Which of MY problems would that solve? Is it none? Who's problems would it solve? Yours!? Are you solving any of my problems? What problem of MINE would that solve? Ask yourself that.

Hym "Oh yeah? Which part?"
Jeep Jorp "Ummm.... This... One?"
Hym "Why?"

To let me... Take things from you... So I can keep pretending... To be an extra-special guy- Er, wait, no! GAWD... Gave Samson magic hair... And now Samson... Is like a metaphor for doing whatever I generally want people to do... So, YOU need to do what I want... So YOU... Will get magic hair..."
Hym "O... K... Are you God in this metaphor?"
Geep Gorp "Um... No? But when God... Told Abraham... To Sacrifice Issac... He said HE wants YOU to give up on your dreams... And he KNEW you would do it... In the Future... So- And that's why he told Abraham not to kill Issac... So, if you don't do it... Issac will die... In the Past... That's the sacrifice... He took... Instead of a guys child... You- It'll preserve the time-line... Yes. You have to do it because God's time magic will make a past-guy re-sacrifice his kid and then you get magic hair... Yeah..."

An example of a political party that is politically extinct is the Whig Party. It began going extinct in the early 1850s while trying to recover from the presidency of Franklin Pierce. It was trying to form platform to run on in future elections, but they were unable to form an effective platform and over time they began losing large amounts of support to the point at which the party eventually collapsed.

Get the Political elitemug. 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.
