The last banana in a bunch, the one that is almost alway over ripe before anyone gets to it.
The over ripeness of the banana causes a rash of politeness in people...
Jane: Can I offer you this last banana?
John: No, it is ok, you can have it.
Jane: No...I must insist, you have it...
John: No really...it is your banana, you have it...
(This demonstrates how the last banana in the bunch can become a polite banana...no matter what state of brown it is in)
An over-excessive proganda warfare in which supporters from one party (i.e. Democrats or Republicans) will try to convert others from the opposing party onto their side. This in turn upsets the opposing party and causes a similar reaction.
In the end, the only one who truly benefits from such underhanded means of attempting to get into the office is the media. This includes, but is not limited to, both American, Foreign, and Alien news outlets.
American Politics has never let down satitrical writers/cartoonists.

Reddit's largest left wing echo chamber. Users will refuse to listen to anything that doesn't fall in line with the Democrat's narrative, that includes viewpoints from the middle of the road, libertarians and conservative viewpoints. Any dissent will be met with a cascade of negative karma or even a moderator banning you.
People dont go to r/politics to discuss differing viewpoints. They come to have their biases confirmed.

Irrational behavior by politicians who mischaracterize their behavior as a calculated change from the politics as usual. In practice the behavior is often inconsistent or bizarre and can be seen by many rational observers as a freak show. However, there are some people who want to believe there is substance despite being illogical and the evidence to the contrary.
Bush's compassionate conservativism was a new version of "politics as unusual" as it was neither compassionate nor conservative but instead was inconsistent with the core values of compassion and conservatism.
Sarah Palin has created a cliché of "politics as unusual" with her bizarre behavior, and unusual characteristics which she tries sell as a preferred moral and ethical alternative.
Sarah's ability to explain her foreign policy credentials ("you can see Russia from Alaska...", "Russian diplomats fly over Alaska on their way to the USA...") in a way that would be impressive to the average KMART shopper.
Sarah has made parents of minor unwed mothers who are still in high school the ideal candidate for family values.
Sarah said a Governor should resign when under fire to save the government cost providing information on ethic violations to the public becomes too high.

Any facet in the realm of political stupidity, ignorance, or extremity. Often referred to when describing the pointlessness or ridiculousness of a subject. Made famous by a runner St. John's University who's birthday it is today.
Mike: "Why are they giving all those kids minors? They weren't even acting drunk."
Luke: "It's all political bullshit."

The boundaries a girl sets with her guy friends, physical or otherwise, when she has a boyfriend.
"It was freezing outside last night, and John offered me his sweater, but boyfriend politics made me take Ann's instead, even though it wasn't as warm."
An opinion that everyone needs to respect. Even if yours is different! Some people....(You know who you are.) Believe that the people with the different opinion are wrong, and this goes multiple ways, sometimes when people hear that another person has a different political opinion, they will say mean things to them, or believe that they and everyone else with that opinion is some sort of awful person.
"He has a different political opinion?!?! I'm going to kill him and everyone he loves!"
