Every Sociopathic Oligarch wants to buy his own political party.
Yet another misleading headline.
The article goes on about Yang's dislike of the two party system, that he made his own party to break from the system, and is supporting others who want to do the same.
Nothing in there said Yang agrees with or supports Musk's political objective beyond challenging the two major parties.
- I've never heard of the Forward Party before, but it sounds a lot like the No Labels party (which I thought was linked to Mitch McConnell, but apparently there was a fake website put up around the time of the election that tried to discredit them by making them look Republican-aligned, so maybe that's where I read that?)
- I can't imagine Yang supporting Musk on much of anything. The headline is just intended to force people to read by making a blatantly incorrect claim.
Why are we meeting him again? Didn't he run for president in 2020?
- Yeah... in short he was in the primaries, actually had a pretty strong following, mainly because he proposed UBI. Then after losing he started a "forward" party... which as far as I can see was meant to be kind of a centrist party, but effectively didn't have any stances besides work towards ranked choice voting.
  
  a centrist party
  The idea of such a party always amuses me, since it's always stated that there is some gigantic "center" in this country. Which of course is halfway between the utterly unhinged far right extremists in the qon movement and Republican Party, as contrasted with the right-of-center Democratic Party?
  Not only is it never really stated what the positions of this so-called party would actually be, nor who they'd really be popular with, but do we need THREE right-leaning parties?
  WTAF.
  
  had a pretty strong following, mainly because he proposed UBI
  His entire UBI scheme was based on a techno feudal dystopia, trying to attach himself to Elon's teat is right on brand.
LOL, this guy again.
If there was any further confirmation required, that this man has no soul...let this be it.
Yang gang takes note from worm brain.
We're about to experience atomic levels of dumb shit
- We already are.
Andrew don't get involved, I'm pretty sure you know better.
But maybe you don't.
Ooh, maybe now it can siphon off all those "Abundance Agenda" fucknuggets from the dregs of the Democratic Party. Take Bloomberg too, while you're at it.
