Elon Musk publicly mused about creating a new political party this week, an idea that could escalate the billionaire’s feud with his onetime ally President Trump.
Musk first floated the idea on Thursday. In between jabs at Mr. Trump, the billionaire posted a poll to X asking his 220 million followers if they think it’s “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.”
A day later, Musk noted that 80% of respondents to the poll backed the idea.
Excellent idea. You do that, Elon.
“I’ll make my owl political party! With blackjack and hookers!”
Do it you coward.
Fuck no. While I very much want more parties, a party created by and for oligarchs would suck the donkiest of elephant balls.
“What if we made a party that represented everyone?”
Holy shit, I don’t think anyone’s thought of that. Jamie, check the web to see if people ever tried creating a party for the rest of us.
Chat, type 1 if you think having a party that represents 80% of America is a good idea.
Thing is, he’s absolutely right. It’s way beyond past time to create a powerful political third party in the US that genuinely represents the interest of the people.
Elon Musk, however, should not be allowed anywhere within brick throwing distance of it.
Nor should most anyone else who is actually capable of funding it. Herein lies our actual problem.
The real problem is with the way elections work. Any third party started in this system that’s successful will wind up being absorbed by or absorbing one of the other two.
That’s not actually a problem, though. It’s better when both parties support your issue; then there is no viable opposition to that issue.
Call it American Party X and we have a deal.
Split the Republican party!
Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.
Yeah, you do that buddy, spend lots of money, too. Every single vote he draws will come from HitlerPig, not the Dems.
‘I’ll make my own party with blackjack and hookers’
Reminds me of Ye and his public stunts.
Are we gonna have a reverse Obama, were they claim Trump was actually born on Mississippi and that the SA birth certificate is fake?
The vote of 80% of the people that are lefton Shitter doesn’t say much. And how many responded?
The Silly Party?
Their candidate for POTUS can be Tarquin Fintimlin-whimbinlim-Bus Stop-F’tang F’tang-Olé-Biscuit Barrel.
