Hey you guyz, now there is another billionaire you can donate your money to and he will do nothing for you. Cool!

At least give it a cool name like The (John) Galt Party or something so it has a better change of splitting the right. I guess the nazi party was already taken?

I hope that he sloughs off enough support from the Geronocrats and Turdpublicans to give the Progressive movement a chance to become mainstream. In a battle between four armies, I think AOC would win.

The Country Under Not Trump party

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back... I know they're far too stupid for that.

A single rich guy that self-confessed that he illegally immigrated to this country.

I am guessing somewhere between %0.1-0.5. That is how many tech bros there are.

Opportunity for a 4-way split? Sanders and AOC can make a new party called “Freedom Party” so we can have something other than the establishments.

Odd strategy.

Leftists won't buy it, and most liberals aren't going to buy it, and it might divide the right, while team blue is fracturing.

Gonna be a 4 on one, not a 3.

I fail to see how splitting up the fascists is anything but a good thing. Let them fight.

What could go wrong?

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

How? I thought a prereq was to do a certain amount of philanthropy or action at the local level first.

[-] TheLunatickle@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Money.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Is that why he's suddenly criticizing Trump? He thinks he can split the Democratic vote?

Ahhahahahahahaha. Not even Trump was this stupid. I wonder what way this will split the vote though. I think on the right but who tf knows who would follow this.
