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 !
