- The Whig Party
- A classy group of older gentlemen who wanted to feel alive again, both in political spirit and new hair.
- The Party Rock Anthem
- In favor of shaking, shuffling, and just having a good time. Also pro-fracking, for some reason.
- The Democratic Party

- Called the Yippies, they were active in the election of 1968 with their stellar candidate, Pigasus the Immortal, a 145-pound domestic pig. Famously ran on the slogan, “If we can’t have him in the White House, we can have him for breakfast.” While they have not been active since, I want them back. Please.
- Orange Soda Party
- Similar mission as Jonestown but with orange soda this time
- Ryan’s party
- You show up at the wrong house and play settlers of catan with the least cool kid in school, but at least you get snacks (gluten free, vegan, nut free, sugar free, and with no added narcan)
- Margaritaville Party
- The only time is 5:00 PM, drinking and relaxing is mandatory B-)
