Of particular note was the influence of Lohengramm as the party's founder and leader. Accusations that he had purposefully suspended leadership elections to maintain his office eventually caused the party to dissolve.

The '''Popular Party''' was a populist, anti-capitalist, third-positionist political party which split off from the [[Labour Party]], founded and lead by [[Lohengramm]], accused by its critics of being a cult.

The party described itself in these terms:

Revised Explanation:
<blockquote> The Popular Party is a third-option party that plans to challenge the American two-party dichotomy. The Popular Party is characterized by economic leftist policy and a broad tent social policy. We aim to create a coalition that uses the party system not for selfish gain, but for the benefit of the people. No American should have to choose between two parties, neither of which really represent them and their interests.

Our core policies include, among others; promotion of workers rights, decreasing income inequality, combating the influence and power of big corporations, fighting the climate crisis, and putting the governments focus back on the people.</blockquote>

Original Explanation:
<blockquote>The Popular Party is a third-option party that plans to challenge the American two-party dichotomy. The Popular Party is characterized by economic leftist policy with socially conservative values. We value workers, family, and liberty.</blockquote>

The party's position in the political center lead to somewhat inconsistent political activity. It caucused with the [[Federalist Party]] in the Senate at the very start of its existence, but as time went on, it appeared to shift slightly leftwards (as seen by the differences in its official explanations, which changed from "conservative social policy" to "broad tent social policy.")

The Popular Party performed very well in the December 2017 elections, winning "[https://i.imgur.com/GNovsGG.png every single seat they had a candidate for]" and then later putting [[Commander Johnsonson]] in JF-2 and [[Codegreen]] in JF-5.

On January 16, 2020, President [[MichiganLefty]] left the [[Labor Party]] for the Popular Party, stating that he felt it had "seemed to lose its vision and morale". The party would disband just two weeks later.

==Criticism of the Popular Party==
Various critics of the Popular Party have said it "lacked a coherent ideology," "smacked of National-Bolshevism," and was "incredibly cursed."

==Dissolution of the Popular Party==
Citing their grievances with [[Lohengramm's]] control of the party, most or all of the active membership left the party to form the [[Bull Moose Party]] in late January of 2020.
