Political advertising is one of the fastest growing advertising markets in the world. I am very interested in working with political domain name investors and collectors. I see there to be a lot of money to be made regardless of your political leanings.

I see 5 main groups in this years US election:

Libertarians (Far Right) - Popular with Cryptocurrency lobby groups
Conservatives (Mid Right) - Popular with retail & food lobby groups
Political MC's (Centre) - Popular with media & entertainment lobby groups
Liberal (Mid Centre) - Popular with worker unions
Socialist (Far Left) - Popular with welfare lobby groups

Last century didn't have the defining splits of the "Far Right & Mid Right" and "Far Left and Mid Left" and was more of a 3 party system (left, right & centre). I see future years have more defined splits and expanding outside the wing model that measures parties across a one dimensional line that is split into 5 groups in the modern culture. I am working on a model that splits people into 12 main groups. For me, I expect further splits in governments across the world as lobbying become a more precise and targeted process. I don't have a lot of faith in the longevity of the two-party political system but I am confident that it is very strong now. I am interested in views on political domain names. If anyone wants to share their political domains, feel welcome to share them.

Has there been any big sales of political names?

You see from my perspective, I see the escalating US government debt (estimated at $35Trillion at the moment) to be a catalyst for a surge in the Libertarian movement. I see 2024 as a small surge that is a foundation for the 2028 election. I don't see Trump to be a true Libertarian as he spends too much money. I am building a case as to why the .black domain name is a potentially powerful domain extension for the Libertarian movement. I am starting this discussion about discussing the difference between the two main forms of gambling:

#RedGambling (Higher Average Payouts to the house/Red symbolises debt)
#BlackGambling (Higher Average Payouts to the gamblers/Black symbolises profit)

I am a statistician and the standard advice for gamblers from statisticians would be to use black gambling systems over red gambling systems. The problem lies with restrictive advertising laws that silence the businesses also silence the academics. Black gambling systems are still in their infancy and so most gambling systems follow a red business model.

For me, I am based in Australia where there is greater room for a clearly defined libertarian movement to break out of the conservative shadow. Hence I expect that things may move a lot faster in smaller countries like mine. I have three areas of focus that I am starting my campaigning in to give a stronger voice to the Libertarians that I call #TheBlackThree. I am working with investors to help them identify high quality .black domain names. I believe that there is strong evidence of a large Libertarian movement over time.

I am starting with my first area of focus being the gambling domain names. I expect that there is a good chance that over the next 50 years red gambling systems will mostly disappear. The gambling market is one of the largest markets in the world. I see the black gambling movement as one that pushes for higher average payouts to the gamblers.

I have been wrestling with trying to work out what is the best political domain extension as an alternative to .com. I have considered .net and .pink and talked about them on Namepros in the past. However, .black is a strong powerful accounting word that represents common sense financial management. The world is dealing with a financial literacy crisis and .black is a potential domain name to bring back the traditional financial values that have forgotten in society. Hence, I have settled on .black as the underrated domain extension that I am advocating.

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought here. While politics is a form of gambling (on the outcome), I would not link gambling to any specific political doctrine. I get that you want to link Libertarians with being fiscally in the black, but that's a million miles away from gambling.

Have you ever thought of creating a simple entry portal in a common TLD that you then link out to the more specialized TLDs? If gambling is the central focus then an entertainment related domain could be used, and then that could be expanded out into other forms of entertainment, while you load the back end with your .black domains. Just a thought.
