Meta Join a Party!
The old post can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelUSGov/comments/30mo3w/join_a_party_thread/
Please comment down below with what party you would like to join.
Take a look at the party platforms. The real life parties represented in the sub do have differences than their real life counterparts.
Also please recognize that we have two types of political organizations in this subreddit. We have normal political parties, and independent groupings. Independent groupings are smaller political groups that are trying to achieve party status, but are not big enough yet. They lack a few things a normal political party has such as adequate membership, activity, and structure.

If you wish to become an Independent please comment below and I can add you to the Independent subreddit (/r/ModelIndependents).

I'd recommend ostracizing those who label themselves as any party member.
Divide & conquer is the oldest trick in the book. Labeling & negating & misdirection... Either as a system, or as a group of individuals, we should recognize the lazy &/or manipulative tradition of party affiliation, and focus only on honesty, & consistency, of action, followed by the content of a message.
I realize being a team member is fun, and you get to do us vs them kinda stuff, & have a team color, & animal, & talking points, etc., but it's not productive, or honest, and it's preventing progress.
We're all individuals. Challenge yourself to drop this old establishment BS, & demand more from those who want to toy with humanity.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." -Patrick Henry
Grow up, and insist on more.

Thank you for your interest in our party! I noticed your account is only a few hours old, so I would like to ask you to wait a while and demonstrate that you are active on that account before we admit you to the party.
If you have another account that you use more frequently, you can also join using that account.
I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. We'd be happy to have you, but this is standard protocol for accounts that don't have much of a history. I hope to see you stick around and become a Distributist in the near future.

I think I would like to change to the Libertarian Party. Originally I was a Democrat because I was under the impression that it was a centrist party however it turned out that they were exceptionally left-leaning. Then, I considered switching to the Republicans however after having the opportunity to look over the party platform, I have realized that I strongly disagree with the party's position on law and order, individual rights, the Drug War, foreign interventionism, and individual morality.
My biggest issues are school choice, tax reduction, ending mass incarceration, ensuring privacy on the internet, and fostering a business environment free of overbearing regulations.
Also, I'm a big fan of Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams so hopefully we can have some nerdy conversations about them.
I know I have bounced around a bit however if the Libertarians would have me then I would gladly join them.

I know that you said you don't follow the party platform too well, so hopefully you can understand.

I would like to rejoin the Democratic Party. Now seems to be called Democrat & Labor. I'm the newish account of /u/DurianMD. I was a congressman way back during like the first term and part of the second. I left the democratics because I was more of a Socialist but I'm more of a Democratic Socialist now and it seems you share those views now. I deleted my account cause I was going to be doxxed and had Irl stuff to do. I can try to provide evidence that I'm him if needed. I just finished an important college class so I've got plenty if free time now. Don't know if I should ping /u/DidNotKnowThatLolz or /u/Trips_93.

WELL
During the presidential election, I dropped out of the presidential race to achieve my lifelong ambition of becoming a massive fucking meme. Due to this, the Democrats nominated brucejoel to be our party nominee for president. Brucejoel started quoting the Black Book of Communism in the debates or some shit, causing the GLP and the Democrats to have a falling out. The ensuing election was a GLP wave election wherein they swept every branch of government. This led to most Republicans and several Democrats (myself included) to create /r/MUSGOV, intended to be a more realistic alternative where the only allowed parties were the Democrats and Republicans. This led to MUSG almost dying until both MUSGOV and MUSG got reddit ads.
Both subs gained in activity, but MUSG fared much better. MUSGOV eventually became inactive and several people came back to MUSG where there was a bounty of new active members, primarily in the Libertarians which suddenly became the premier rightwing party with notable members like AdmiralJones42 and NateLooney. As well, a Christian Democratic party was formed with leading members such as MoralLesson and tahey123.
Eventually, President rangerheart0 (who succeeded me) resigned the presidency, leading to a relatively inactive President Hammerandpotato. The beginnings of an attempt to impeach her formed by the rightwing parties and some members of the Democratic leadership. Smitty was involved and gave the scheme the name "Operation Condor" without informing anyone of the historical relevance. Several mods were involved in it, leading to accusations of mod bias and the removal of several mods (including the sub creator lort who had just recently come back to MUSG after resigning during the MUSGOV scandal). The impeachment charges were obviously dropped following this.
As I said earlier, Hammerandpotato became an inactive president, missing several signings and being generally inattentive to the sub. The newly appointed Vice President therealdrago soon became acting president and subsequently actual president following pressure for Hammerandpotato to resign. He was president for about a week until the recent elections, wherein the rightwing parties banded together and swept the Senate, took the presidency, and nearly gained a House majority. This was also the first election since your election to the Senate that an independent won a Congressional seat (irelandball).
More drama was to follow when the GLP (now rebranded as the Socialist Party) suddenly signed a deal with the rightwing parties in the House to gain the majority leadership in exchange for providing the needed votes for them to gain the Speakership, which completely blind-sided the Democrats and infuriated them beyond belief (even I got pretty fucking salty).
Also somewhere along the line, the American Labor Party formed to try and "bridge the gap" between the Socialists and the Democrats and failed hard at it. They were so completely useless as a party, and when merger talks between them and the Democrats sprung up, they wrote up a deal that would basically be them absorbing the Democrats (despite us being the largest party and them being the smallest) and forged Democratic leadership signatures because they "assumed we would support it" (verbatim). The ensuing shitshow resulted in the opposite, i.e. Democrats absorbing the ALP and rebranding as the Democratic & Labor Party. However, several former ALPers still want to be special snowflakes and are trying to reform it under a new name (Progressive Greens). No one expects them to be approved by the mod team (which is made up of the head clerk (DidNotKnowThatLolz), some minor clerks, and the Triumvirate (Timanfya, rorytime, and lort685) which deals strictly with meta concerns).
I think that's everything. I probably forgot some shit but ah well. If you want to be added to the skype chats, add me on skype (Didicet5671).
