LOOK AWAY FROM THE SHINY ‘POLITICAL’ OBJECTS

from Coalition Purple · host Coalition Purple

GOP & Dems love to distract you!Coalition Purple is all about addressing problems that needto be solved.  But we get it… it’s easyto get distracted.This past week Sen. Alex Padilla crashed a press conferenceand Sen. Rand Paul was excluded from the White House Congressionalpicnic. As this episode is being recorded Trump is planning topreside over a military parade on his birthday and that will be one of the mostbizarre moments in American history.   We’re here to remind people to look away from these shinyobjects and focus on what needs to be done. For example, Elon Musk has stated that we need a newpolitical party in America and we agree. We have some advice for him if he actuallydecides to start a new party. Keep it simple.Focus on government efficiency and transparency. Candidatesshould commit to prioritizing calm, fair, objective, non-partisan auditing of governmentspending at whatever level they will serve (city, state, etc.).Embrace the idea that a new party will be a minorityparty. And that’s OK!You can’t improve the system without addressing the rootcauses of the problems. You don’t need to be Goliath. Be David. There is no better time for a new political party. In fact,maybe we need dozens or hundreds of new political parties.  So, what say you Elon… or any rational human being that has a large platform to get it done?
