i really hope charlie and erika kirk's children come out as lgbtq and starts a leftist equivalent to turning point usa.

in fact, is there a leftist equivalent to turning point usa?

    There was something called The Gravel Institute, but it didn't last very long.

    Given that the US went through 2 wholesale leftist purges in its history and zero rightist purges, I would say that looking for an existing equivalent of any rightist phenomenon is asking a lot.

    I have seen smaller ones, but it doesn’t really matter if they don’t have the virility of Turning Point.

    Part of Turning Point’s whole pitch is to counter overwhelming β€œleftist” voices in universities and such. There can’t really be an equivalent to that unless US colleges get mega right wing.

    Sure, not saying it's impossible to secure funding. Just saying that it would pale in comparison to what billionaires are able to throw at organizations like TPUSA and you can't expect it to be at the same level or grow nearly as rapidly as a result.
