Musk's third party aspirations could give democrats permanent power !

[yidnar]

Many on this board are touting and even celebrating Musk's announcement and launch of a 3rd political party called the America Party ! its a party who's platform and goals are based on fiscal responsibility . while most republican voters support the concept of cutting spending , waste , and paying down the debt , Musk's moves could actually have the opposite effect ! many are saying that said party will get support from both sides of the political spectrum , I believe they are mistaken in those beliefs ! in the last election 73 million people voted for the most leftwing candidate to ever run for POTUS ! and said candidate [did not] run on cutting debt and spending ! the millions that voted for Harris voted for left wing policies that in no way tackles the enormous problem of spending and debt ! in other words those people will not vote for candidates in the America Party ! but make no mistake ! Musks party will get millions of voters from one major party ..THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ! Musk's party will effectively split the republican vote guaranteeing dem control in DC for yrs to come ! and lets face the facts ..DEMS AINT GONNA CUT SPENDING !

Instead of creating a third party to tackle debt America would be better served if Musk backed and funded fiscally conservative candidates on the Republican ticket ! there is a growing movement of fiscal conservatism growing in the republican party namely the members of the Freedom Caucus ! instead of splitting the vote and giving Dems permanent power Musk should instead concentrate on endorsing and promoting leaders that will align with the Freedom Caucus !

AI Overview

The House Freedom Caucus, a group of hard-right Republicans, generally advocates for significant cuts to government spending and a reduction in the national debt. They often propose measures like capping future discretionary spending, rescinding unspent COVID relief funds, and repealing climate-related spending. They also frequently push for stricter work requirements for welfare programs and oppose what they view as wasteful spending.

Key Positions and Actions:

• Spending Caps:

Yup. Musk's America party is just a bunch of bullshit. A bunch of billionaires trying to buy the election. Let's face it. We have 100 Senators and 435 Congress critters all wanting to get something for their states and districts and these incumbents are re-elected time and time again because the voters want their senators and Congress critters to get them some more money. But everyone else should vote out their senators and Congress critters and enact term limits. Just not in our states or districts.

Wow a split in the GOP. Who saw that coming?

I thought Elon was smarter than that. At least he'll spend some cash.

Elmo is about to get a clinic on what the Libertarian Party has been putting up with since its beginnings in the late '70s.

First of all, the question of ballot access...Costs millions of dollars, and thousands of volunteers gathering hundreds of thousands of signatures, to just get that much.

Then he's going to need a front man....Though he is in fact a smart and very likable guy, he's about as dynamic and inspiring as a beige room.

Elon is on drugs.

He has know clue what he's doing.

If he helps America's traitors return to power, he'll be shown no mercy.

BE HUMBLE ELON. It's your one move.

Publicly find Jesus.

FALSE DICHOTOMY.

HEADS THE CIA WINS - TAILS "WE THE PEOPLE" LOSE

A third party is NOT the answer.

For all practical purposes MAGA Republicans are a third Party.

AS LONG AS THE CIA CAN ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE AND FORCEFULLY DICTATE A COURSE OF ACTION TO THE PRESIDENT A THIRD PARTY WILL PROVIDE A FALSE FEELING OF SECURITY.

I suspect it will be a flash in the pan....If even that....Dem wishful thinking more than anything else.

It's mostly Musk's autism side showing....He will move on to, and apply his genius, to something else soon enough.

Musk is an asshole, but poses no threat.

He has Andrew Yang and Mark Cuban involved with this.

It's going to be an epic disaster, but not for MAGA,

lets hope so .. but I wouldn't mind if he spent his money promoting and backing new young fiscal conservatives for Congress ..

Yes, Musk's party will put the dems completely in power in 2028.

why not back , fund , and promote ,new young fiscal conservatives to run for office on the republican ticket ? that would be a much better use of Musks influence and money ..

He's not stupid. They all pretty much turn-out the same way.

The most honest broker in congress is Rand Paul yet he's considered a whack-job by both parties.

I would like to see him back fiscal conservatives for Congress on the Republican ticket .. he isn't dumb .. I think he's got a grudge against Trump , and he's trying to get even ..
