Adamu, goodvibes and slytiger never said he was Republican.

Goodbibes said Musk was leaning to the right
Adamu said he was pro conservative and pro Republican.
Sly posted what Musk himself said that he would be voting Republican.

Go and read the all the posts and you will not be able to point out where Musk was called a republican.patty member.

Voting conservative doesn't necessarily make you pro conservative. Musk has some conservative opinions and some progressive opinions.

DeLaRue:


'Tribe' in the US context is mostly along Republican and Democratic lines.

Some members of either party absolutely detests the other party. Some republicans will not even buy a house if they find out their neighbour is a Democrat. Vice versa. Some even move to states where majority of the people vote for a party they prefer.

Yes, it is a minority that behaves like that, but trust me, even among the majority of Americans, there is no love lost between republicans and Democrats expecially since Trump came into the political scene.

It is endless arguments, accusation & counter accusation, frustration on both sides, mistrust etc

A lot of passion on both sides. 'We are good, they are bad' stuff.

That's tribal.

Why do you think over 80% of blacks vote Democrat even if na Goat Democrat present

Thank you.

You keep moving the goal post. So if I am pro-conservative will I be voting Democrats? i.e. Voting against my own interest.

Anyway, Musk said he would start voting conservative. That's all that matters 😂.

Slytiger:

So if I am pro-conservative, I will be voting Democrats. Voting against my own interest. Make it make sense. Anyway, Musk said he is pro conservative and would be voting conservative. That's all that matters 😂.

If you are independent, you could vote in one election for a democrat and in another for a republican. This should be simple enough for anyone to understand

Slytiger:

Thank you.

Democratic block includes Blacks, Most immigrants, Most Moslems They will vote Democrats even if they present a pig for election

Bide even said "You ain't black if you dont vote for me"

ELON MUSK IS RIGHT. THE BIRTH AND THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST WAS TRIBAL AND NOT LOGICAL AT ALL.

In 2022, Musk said he would now be voting Republican. What's the problem with that? It seems you have an issue with him being pro conservative.

You mean race isn't tribe in the US?

RACE IS U.S
TRIBE IS UK
NIGERIA SYSTEM IS ABRACADABRA.

NO WAY.
THIS IS NOT MUSLIM MUSLIM TICKET.

You seem not to understand. Let me explain again. He is an independent not a republican. Independents are open to voting either for democrats or republicans. They are kind of in the middle. In some elections they vote one way and in other elections, they vote the other way. This does not make them pro Republican. Or pro conservative. Do you understand it now?
The believe that someone not voting for Biden makes him pro conservative is just false. Every election, there are thousands of republicans 2ho vote for democrats and vice versa.

His making his money, una dey view him post. Mtcheeew...

I'm surprised foolish APC monikers are here advocating tribal politics just because Elon musk said so. I guess they've now found the outlet for their underlying motivations for supporting their candidates.
The US did not become the country it is today by playing tribal politics.
Anyone who takes Musk's soundbite as validation of his own tribal nuances is a joke of a human being with peas for brain

If tribal politics favour you, you will surely support it. This is Obi, your Lord and Messiah playing tribal politics in 2012.

Pristine664:

My earlier assertion refers.
An addendum is that tribal politics reduces your ability to reason. Sorry let me correct myself.
Tribal politics REMOVES your ability to reason.
You called Obi my lord and messiah without any evidence of such. But you didn't stop at that perfidy. You took it a notch higher by posting a cut and join piece from somewhere as "proof" to justify your stand.
Do you see what tribal politics is doing to you?

mployer:

It is more profound among minorities.
For the majority, geography and ideal government are the major tribal issues.

adamusuleiman1:

Tell that to Edo Obidients that are rejecting their LP gurbanitorial candidate in Edo State, or the SE that voted their own over others in the last election.

What about the times SE voted for obsanjo, yaradua and Jonathan? What about the times you said Igbos don't like themselves? What about the times you said Igbos can't produce a politician they would all rally round? What about the times you names Atiku Atikuchukwu?

I'm glad majority of your type have eaten their words after the election.

frankyychiji:

Who were the options here? Falae or Buhari

raumdeuter:

Your point is?

Politics is a bit of both...

For instance, when GEJ became President, he completely sidelined Yorubas, a major ethnic group in Nigeria and was busy filling Igbos into all positions available in Abuja. This was the same man that likes of Wole Soyinka, Pst. Tunde Bakare and other top Yoruba elites stood up for when the late Yar'adua's wife wanted to mess him up. They were scheming to bring another Northerner to complete Yar'adua tenure after his demise as against stipulated laws of FRN that the Vice should be sworn-in as President. The ungrateful man got there and started cutting Yorubas out of national politics.

Today, a Yoruba man is president and still found way to balance the appointment to include South South and even Igbos who didn't vote for him.
The good thing is that Yoruba lokan, Yorubas are everywhere now, haters can die.

HNICEARTH:
Most bigoted nigerians dont understand what elon was trying to say.

"Politics is tribal...", he wasnt implying tribe like igbo, yoruba, hausa or fulani.

He was only trying to explain that politics is local or politics resonates more with a people when it's been affiliated with what they understand or gravitate towards to than logic.

If you gravitate towards religion or your tribe, then your politics will always be igbo, hausa, yoruba, fulani, Islam and christianity.

If you gravitate towards better education, better economy, better infrastructure, then your politics will always resonate with that

you dey mind the mentally immature crowd wey full nairaland!

Will this reach Tinubu’s empty head?

Asonaijaaso:
Elon is wrong on this one.

Politics is 70% Logical and 30% Tribal.

if politics was indeed logical tell me one logical person who would vote in Tin.ubu
