New Political Party

We need to galvanize some creativity in the community on this. Art is definitely a tool we should leverage.

Now what about funding? I mean once we get attention we can commit only to taking small donations. But how to get to there from here?

I will look into what it takes to make a PAC. Sell “shit back” merch as a fundraiser?

And since you did indeed light the fire, you definitely have total naming rights for this party.

I’m strangely jazzed by your proposal. It’s a way to catch the bounce from the recent adjustment and focus our near-universal agreement on the fact that the problem is too much money in too few hands.

personally I like the net income = s * sqrt(gross income / s + 1) curve as it provides a universal basic income, with an incentive to work, naturally guides incomes downwards, and all as a single easily configurable parameter you can use to fit to any arbitrary taxation amount, it might be better to get more granular control, but as far as 'janky patch solutions on top of capitalism' go I think it works well enough for how simple it is

Well, damn good that you tried-- thats better than most of us already. And good that you push yourself and the dems for better than the sad corrupt effort the DNC serve up. And we dont even need to talk about the rethuglicans.

In our current US system, a Super PAC is probably the way to start something like this.

Super PACs cannot directly support candidates, that’s a regular PAC. (And don’t be mystified by the process of forming these, it’s just simple paperwork) SuperPAC can do issue centered media and information dissemination not focused on a specific candidate

One thing the Shit-backers bring to the table that doesn’t really exist is that they normalize the discussion of just exactly how the rich are shitting on us.

Look at how the corporate media tries to spin The Adjuster story away from the awkward topic of the fact the adjuster may actually be on the right ride of this trolley problem.

This party would start by normalizing one thing that seems to be anathema in polite society: it’s ok to shit on the idea of excess wealth and those who hoard it.

Before we get all leftist and start asking ‘BuT hoW RiCH’, stop! Who cares? Start with step one and spread general agreement that there is such a thing as too much wealth.

This is a movement and movements run on emotion first, policy comes much later.

I don't know what else to call it, first thing to come to mind.

Suggestions?

We are the shit-backers!

Is the DSA full of people who will sing the song of angry men?

Because the entire point of this party is to shit on rich people.

Someone who doesn't have to work because they have so much money that their money makes money.
