My 2028 general election prediction as follows: Big New York vs Bug Tech Hillary Clinton picking up Donald J Trump as her running mate. Vs JD Vance is picking Elon Musk as his running mate. constitutional crisis adverted as neither Trump or Musk are acting president
Should have called it the X party. The America First Party was an isolationistpolitical party which was founded on January 10, 1943.[1] Its leader, Gerald L. K. Smith, was the party's presidential candidate in the 1944 U.S. presidential election.
This is good news for Democrats. It will split off enough wackjob votes from the dip$hit cult to sway elections.
well, we know all the Musk simps are ready to vote for it. They obviously voted R this time around, so that may split some. But as First Buddy, he wasn't all that different a trash fire than Trump and the general GOP leadership and did plenty to hurt as many people as possible under the guise of some bullshit with DOGE while tossing seig heils around. The real question is if the Richest Nazi in the World is competent enough to fool regular people (ie not Musk sycophants) into thinking his vision of a political party is actually representative of a 'change' that's for the people. It's going to be bullshit of course, but as well all know, people may still be eager to fall for it. Especially depending on whatever candidtates they find to sell it.
The only way is what Bernie and Zohran are doing. You need progressive candidates to take over the Democratic party. Building a new party isn't going to work. Bypass the corrupt corporate donors and run social media grass roots campaigns to win back the working class with sane policies that actually benefit the working class and not the rich. Primary old ass moderate Dems like Kat Abughazaleh is doing in Chicago. A 26 year old progressive vs an 80 year old moderate. https://news.wttw.com/2025/03/31/pr...-brings-fight-remake-democratic-party-chicago Focus on housing, medicare for all, higher wages, education, child care, tax the rich. Leave identity politics behind.
1992 - Ross Perot gets 20% of the vote - uh oh 2002 - Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act 2010 - Citizens United v. FEC (super PACs) 2024 - People like Elon musk use these laws to buy the president, congress, contracts, influence, channels of media, etc Elon IS the problem. They're all the problem. Socialize politics.
This is more of a way Elon can use the gubment to fund and prop his enterprises..... @Space Ghost worships at the knees of Elon and is the perfect rube for tech billionaires.
Only the GOP just voted to approve something..... not both sides. The same sides nonsense is the pinnacle of simplistic ignorance.... A serious third party is a great idea....but is Elon serious? Does he only care about enriching his business empire? DOGE was very self serving and Elon isn't exactly viewed as a man of the people.
Elon having a third party is fine. The way the voting works though in major elections will require his party to endorse either the Dem or Repug in order to ensure his priorities are covered when the winner takes power. That’s kind of why third parties have always either been basically an arm of one party cosplaying some principled independence (see Rand Paul) or are there to brazenly serve as a spoiler for one side (see Jill Stein/Green Party serving the Republicans as a spoiler to pull votes from the left). We’ll see soon enough how serious Elon will be about his priorities or if he just wants to be another Jill Stein with a vendetta and an agenda to be a spoiler. At this time I do assume he has a policy agenda with the EV and space priorities and could very seriously try to align with back with Dems when we get closer to a major election. But like Rand Paul he’ll have to culturally align to ensure he’s in good graces with that base of support. So we’ll see soon enough what his play is. For now I think he’s winging it but when it comes election time we’ll probably know what role Elon really wants his third party to play.
This guy is not very smart at all. He has fallen for the oldest conceit that wealth means you are both chosen and smarter about everything than anyone else. A self-aware person would recognize that. This notion that people care about the debt--much less understand it--is not going to be the foundation of a new political party in the US. Heck, most people on Medicaid don't even know they are on Medicaid. Of course, a self-aware person probably has a conscience and doesn't go on a rampage through government that kills people all over the globe. A person who knows even a scintilla about American history, world history, psychology, law, and our government would never think they could fully buy a President and keep him under their thumb. It's not a video game. Dude did get used and now will go down as one of the all-time great murderers, yet he never even held the position that Pol Pot and others did. But he did break a lot of things fast without knowing anything about what he was doing. I swear, these people offering simple solutions to incredibly complex societal problems will only increase ignorance and kill us all.
LOL Trump says that Elon Musk asked that one of his close friends run NASA. Trump then claims that that the friend was "very good" but had "never contributed to a Republican before" and ends with "it was inappropriate". So - Trump accuses Musk of asking for something "inappropriate" that mingles Musk's business and the agency of NASA. Trump is concerned that the person Musk wants never contributed financially to the Republicans? - yet Trump puts Musk in charge of DODGE with zero oversight? Amazing - Trump was willing to look the other way that Musk was asking to have NASA potentially compromised, and Trump was concerned that the person did not contributed to Republican candidates --- but Trump admits the friend was very good......... and Trump is concerned about representing the American public? The guy literally shows in this tweet how he ISN'T concerned with protecting the American public, and is oblivious to him because he is so morally broken.
Trumps issue with the individual is he hasn't donated to his cause. Trump has no issue with Musk corruption at NASA as long as he gets a cut for himself. Hes corrupt to the core and its INSANE the president of the USA has a crypto meme scam going on where anyone can bribe him via crypto. I sometimes cant believe what's happening there in America. Nobody in Europe can understand how more people aren't mad
The skills and audacity that it takes to found and successfully run a trillion dollar empire is not the same skills and strengths needed to be a representative of the people or to understand the current situation in the world. Ego - especially male ego in a patriarchy is a very powerful and blinding thing. The hope is that Musk will be humbled and realize what he does know well (running a corporation and making wealth) doesn't mean that he knows how to handle personal relationships or how to run a government.
