It is unprecedented for pirates to be guests of honor at an Enlightenment Salon, but this has now happened! On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited representatives of the U.S. Pirate Party to discuss issues which the two parties have in common and ways to build bridges to contribute to a more vibrant minor-party influence on American politics.
“Jolly” Mitch Davilo of the Illinois Pirate Party joined USTP Officers for an extensive discussion. Learn about the U.S. Pirate Party here: [ Ссылка ]
