Also, how fucking funny is it that he was on their advisory council lol.

The dude literally has zero accomplishments except getting to 300k Twitter followers by stanning Elizabeth Warren and doing lib shit -- this somehow means he gets to be an advisor to a "leftist" party lmao.

For those unaware of what's going on, the People's Party recently decided to drop "socialism" from their platform and focus on "progressive populism" that will unite the left and the right hahahaha.

      He used to stan Warren until she dropped out, then he switched to Bernie and suddenly became a "proud socialist."

          Fair points but I don't think people understand how hard it is get a third party working just even at a state level, let alone getting all 50 states to allow you on the ballot. This isn't going to happen any time soon, let alone within the next presidential election. It would have been smarter of him to actually attempt to build off what is already there like the green party.

          I'm not confident in this dude at all, his ideology sways faster than the wind blows. He was smart for ditching the people's party, I'll had him that, but does anyone here genuinely believe this guy can form a new party to his standards? Getting something like that off the ground has took decades in some cases, why should we assume this will be any different.

        He became proud socialist after an insane number of people started attacking and doxxing him once he switched to Bernie to Warren after New Hampshire (so before she formally dropped out). Like his so called long time friend got his podcasts defunded for supporting Bernie and criticizing democrats.

      The PP is the major conservative party in Spain (Partido Popular) and I can't not read PP as that party.

        A far right member of the Conservative party in Canada founded the people's party over here to be more explicitly fascist. It was so funny when they not only failed to get any seats, but that move lost the founder's parliamentary seat.

            I'm glad rhino party is back. They haven't been the same since their push to repeal the law of gravity failed.
