I really hate the term 'freedom' now. It's thrown around so much and it means basically nothing anymore. "Join this! Now with 20% more freedom!". Freedom to/from what? It's never stated, it's just a vibe.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Just make some fucking basic ass product, call it freedom or patriot and overcharge for it. Boom profit.
Like this dipshit.
Techno feudal fascism vs Steongman fascism.

I have entertained the idea that Musk hacked the vote tabulations. If it's true, Trump would lose his mind knowing his one and only richman was hacking for someone else now.
Sun Tzu says, never inturupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
That was Napoleon
Did you just interrupt him while he was making a mistake?!?!?
He’s not my enemy.
Let it be known, now and forevermore, that floo is not an enemy of SatansMaggotyCumFart. Spread the news far and wide.
Do with this information as you wish.
I think I only have two enemies on here and one of them is @Nougat@fedia.io.
If I am your enemy, it is only because you have selected me so.
You know what you did.
Epistemologically speaking, I don't, because I can't.
That’s a made up word.
Made up dictionary.
Going back a few comments, I can only say that I am flattered that such a celebrity would not only know who I am, but actually call me out on a completely unrelated thread that I was not already participating in.
Happy cake day to my favorite cum fart.
Let it be known, now and forevermore, that Nougat is the sworn enemy of SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Let it also be known that multiple things can be inferred from the previous statement, each ickier than the last.
Do with this information as you wish.
This shit is cracking me up. I don't know what's going on between them but I wish them the best friendship.
He's my brother
To be honest, they both got off the rails long, long ago.
Please split the right-wing vote. Please
It will almost certainly pull some votes from Trump but whether that's enough to make a difference or not will depend on if the DNC can get out of the way long enough to find a candidate anybody actually wants to vote for or if they'll run another "we'll change nothing and you'll like it" candidate.
lol
"We'll change nothing you'll like" - Democratic candidate
"Well fuck you, I want facism 😡😡😡" - Progressives
if they’ll run another “we’ll change nothing and you’ll like it” candidate.
Newsom is already prepping for that role.
Newsom has a solid chance to get primaries, fact of the matter is he is the worst California has to offer and is only so useful as a potential martyr should the feds kill him. Or maybe I'm just a Inland Imperial who would happily feed folks to the waters over at greenspot.
The right finally gets a Jill Stein. Good luck with that.
I mean in fairness, they've always had Jill Steins. We can bitch about the spoiler effect and yell at our guys for voting, but election after election when you look at people focusing the blame on the greens when we lose, liberterians and other right wing parties, always have more votes than left wing 3rd parties.
Also sadly it sounds like musk is actually planning to do the strategic right way to do a new party. IE focus on house and senate seats to basically to threaten narrow votes.
In short it sounds more like he's making the republican's "Manchins".
Even senate and house seats are a big step. The best way would be your local state senate, house, and mayoral positions. This is the best way to build a grassroots movement and get more people on your side.
He's not wrong, there are people disillusioned with both parties. But if Elon thinks we're all idiots, and will flock to other nazi party, I've got a bridge to sell him.
Maybe some of the center right, and magas who've been personally wronged by the Trumpsters will swing that way, but he's gonna find the left isn't quite as stupid as he thinks.
Split the vote ding dong, go on, do it. I dare you.
but he's gonna find the left isn't quite as stupid as he thinks.
I wish I shared your optimism. Nothing in my experience of life tells me that betting on the left, especially their elected representatives, to not do something stupid is a good plan.
By "left" I'm assuming you mean liberals. "The left" doesn't really have elected politicians. Unless you count Mamdani and he's not even fully elected yet.
Liberals are what passes for the left here, yes.
Pot and kettle at odds of blackness
Kettles aren't black, they're metallic, and when the pot calls the kettle black, it only sees its own reflection. But both Musk and Trump are turds. No need for reflection
Dumbass and Jackass at Tanagra
All aboard the crazy train, we're going of the rails.
This is not a political party, it is something else.
A component of a political platform is often called a plank – the opinions and viewpoints about an individual topic, as held by a party, person, or organization. The word "plank" depicts a component of an overall political platform, as a metaphorical reference to a basic stage made of boards or planks of wood
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_platform
Platforms are built with planks, Elon has no platform.
The right-wing political power machine has been running on vibes instead of sincerely held beliefs for a while now.
People who like Musk better than Trump will just make up bullshit about both to justify their choice.
American nazi party.
He really missed a beat not calling it the Naxi party
The NaXi Party for that Chinese dictator angle.
What an idiot
