    I just want to see him actually keep his word and keep Republicans who voted for the big bill from getting reelected.

    No thanks, Nazi.

    Wonder how many losers who didn’t vote or voted 3rd party will split the vote for Elon, ensuring continued Republican destruction.

    Musk caused a lot of problems mainly while he was being self serving. He fired a lot of FAA leadership and mass laid off air traffic controllers. He wanted to steal a contract from Verizon for SpaceX. Aircraft incidents increased almost immediately. DOGE also led cuts at NOAA which NWS relies on. There was a surprise tornado in the midwest a couple of months ago and flash flood in Texas. These events claimed lives. I blame Musk. Musk is at least partially responsible for Trump gaining power whether he hacked vote tabulations or not.

    There could not be a worse bad actor to be involved in our politics. I like the idea of a centrist party but want Musk to not be involved at all.

      If he’d be smart, he’d do a hiiiigh tax on every rich person. Up to a fortune of, let’s say, his fortune. Would be hard to not vote for him then 😁

    “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk said Monday.

    “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.

    This shit is hilarious. So he didn’t like the bill because it didn’t make enough cuts? Or is it that it provided too much money for ICE? Either way, he will have plenty of new party members. Stupid people eat this shit up.

      He’s just trying to apease the frustrated to get a voter base… But the real plan here is to dilute the democratic voter base even further cementing the republicants to stay in power.

      If those party comes in 2nd, he’ll just conceed and give his votes to the Republican candidate.

      If they win, then hell just cozy up to Republicans anyway.

      Remember RFK Jr when he ran as independent.

      This is THE PLAN

        Damn, I had not considered that. I should have known that this was yet another ploy to keep fascism in power. I mean, after the Nazi salute, I should have kept that in mind when examining why he does what he does.

        Aren’t most US elections FPTP? If so, during the election he’ll split the right vote which boosts Democratic/other candidate’s chances. If they get a few senators elected with Democrats getting fewer than a majority, then for sure the plan would work as you described it.

    If you just want a small-government party, there’s already the Libertarian Party.

    2.4 Government Finance and Spending

    Since all persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labor, we oppose all government activity that consists of the forcible collection of money or goods from individuals in violation of their individual rights and strive for the eventual repeal of all taxation. To further that end, we call for the repeal of the income tax, the abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution. We oppose forcing employers to serve as tax collectors. We support any initiative to reduce or abolish any tax, and oppose any increase on any tax for any reason. To the extent possible, we advocate that all public services be funded or allowed to be provided in a voluntary manner.

    2.5 Government Debt

    Government should not incur debt, which burdens future generations without their consent. We support the passage of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes.

    Don’t think they’d be onboard with your anti-trans thing, though.

    1.4 Personal Relationships

    Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration, or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, promote, license, or restrict personal relationships, regardless of the number of participants. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Until such time as the government stops its illegitimate practice of marriage licensing, such licenses must be granted to all consenting adults who apply.

      LP went full-on Trump on the last elections though. Also, they’re pro-Russia but then again so is probably America Party.

    Yes, because Musk is the first person that comes to mind whenever “actually cares about the people” is mentioned. 🤮
