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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

LOL, this guy again.
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.
Yang gang takes note from worm brain.
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.
If there was any further confirmation required, that this man has no soul...let this be it.
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.
We're about to experience atomic levels of dumb shit
We already are.
