SIGN THE PETITION: Tell Congress to kick Elon Musk out of our government.
WFP: Elon Musk wasn't elected to run our government. Yet, thanks to Trump, Musk has been handed control over some of our most critical government systems, like Medicare and Social Security.
Now, he’s trying to cut billions of dollars from programs that our communities need in order to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

I agree he's horrible and should go, but sorry... a petition will do nothing.
im not frigging taking the fact they raiding my social security money, f that
They're not going to raid Social Security -- they even understand that will get the plebes to storm the gates.
They're going to insert themselves into the payment stream. A penny here. A penny there: pretty soon Trump and Musk are personally much richer.
Do they have conjugal visits in prison?
No no no we're going to federal pound me in the ass prison.
I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll, I'll, I'll set the building on fire...
What a legend
But that's exactly what they want!
Then get out and protest. Stop doing useless shit like these online petitions
He will hunt down all the petitioners and harass them. That's the only thing a petition will do at this point.
As Desantis did before them
What is this, Facebook in 2005?
They don't give a fuck what we have to say.
Exactly, my name isn’t gonna enough; Elon: …did dan69 sign it? Petitioner: oh yah!! Elon: I desist. This will never happen even in my dreams..
Idgaf, sign the damn thing
You shilling for whatever the fuck the “Working Party Family” is? Forcing me to join shit makes this an absolute no go.
They are bullshit liberals that don't want the stigma behind the word liberal so they rebranded themselves as something different. Harris was their preferred choice for president, so they are typical shitlibs.
The Working Families Party is actually a really old party that's quite prominent in NY but vanishingly rare outside New England.
Petitions are useless. Organizing and showing up in person are the only way forward.
Results-based action. Historical precedent. Spread and organize with labor groups.

GSUS doesn't do anything and doesn't even intend to do anything until they get six million people signed up on their website, then won't actually strike until 11mil, 6mil is just when they intend to decide what they might do. They've been doing nothing for a few years now and some of their main organizers believe shit like the magic vibrations from crystals can be effective for DIY abortions. It's a joke.
sure. whatever - just get on WHP list and help fight the system
I think you'll find that it's much easier to fight the system when you aren't on its lists.
I signed because I'm stupid and angry, but I'm not a fan of this at the very bottom...
"By taking action on this page, I affirm my intent to join or continue as a member of the Working Families Party, and to receive periodic updates from WFP."
How about just take the goddamn signature and do good things, don't pull some fine print bullshit tyvm.
I found most of the comments useless but yeah thats a non starter.
Democrats put their brightest minds together and this is what they came up with.
That's why I literally post from a working families party page, no dems
Protest. Call your representatives. Email them. Call them again. Protest. That's how you get attention and let them know what you want.
Signing a petition does nothing.
Put your name on a list!
This is just masturbation. If youve been paying attention the last 10 years then you know this would be ignored.
The list will be used by the enemy.
I mean sure sign a petition. It probably wont hurt but I'm not holding my breath on it doing anything
Probably more important that you go buy a gun at this point and learn to garden as well. We're going to need food and bullets
To those saying petitions are useless, you are wrong. They are an organizing tool to get a list of people who share a common goal. This list can then be used by organizers to mobilize people for different actions.
It's a false sense of activism, sign a form, go back to brunch.
Why not Trump?
No good ideas. Everything is say first, think later. No actionable real plan. Firing people for no reasons and many other things
