The "America Party", started by a Nazi African. What a wild thing.
Not just the USA or even just North America. It's apparently a party for South America as well!
Tbf assuming South America is just kinda ours to mess with or else just forgetting about it is a pretty common thing for the US to do, it tracks
splitting the nazi vote
Yeah FR this is literally the best thing that could have happened for the USA simply because of spoiler effect.

I’m not sure if I want this to fail or succeed.
Hopefully it has success at breaking us from our failed two party system, while at the same time the party itself fails (and costs him lot of money in the process).
We'll need ranked choice (or some other voting scheme other than First Past The Post). Otherwise it'll just end up the same as it always has.
Need new rules in House and Senate, too. The majority party gets majority in all the committees, gets to pick all the committee chairs, etc. All of the current non-D/non-R members 'caucus' with one of the major parties, making them de facto members of that party. A third party with enough representation to block the other two from gaining majority would almost certainly end up in an alliance with one, leaving us back with functional two-party politics.

Breaking the US from the failed 2-party system would require replacing first-past-the-post voting with at least ranked choice, if not a proportional system like Hare-Clarke, and probably scrapping the Electoral College altogether. Which may require constitutional amendments, or at least a partisan Supreme Court sympathetic to more democracy that would Chewbacca-defence it through regardless of legality.

Best case scenario is it will split the right wing vote. In Canada, we're used to it going the other way with conservatives taking advantage of a split left.
Washington Post columnists said it would probably just capture the "Never Trumper" moderate Republican voters who currently begrudgingly vote Democratic because they understand that the Republican Party is nominating only yes-men and fascists.
The Dems leaned hard on the never Trumpers for votes last year and you can see where that got them. Elon can have them.
Republican never Trumper that doesn't vote GOP is likely vanishingly small. They all fall in line.
It might siphon off the GOP voters that begrudingly fell in line because they bought the Communist Kamala or something, or the ones that needed to see Trump disaster a second time.

I want him to split the GOP vote. Basically just a Jill Stein that believes his own swill.
Yeah...
At best, it splits the MAGAt vote, making Dems a clear winner.
At worst, it takes some GenZ dipshit votes away from Dems and causes chaos.

The America Party run by a South African.
Popcorn is not enough for this country.
of all the things to shit on him for this isn't it. being multi cultural is the only culture we have and almost all of us are immigrants.
I shit him for the name of the Party, not being South African.

I'll just point out the risk of what I'll call "Joe Roganing" here. Elon pretends he hates both parties while there's no election coming up. Then when the election arrives he "makes up his mind" and endorses Republicans. This allows him to 1) attract people fed up with both parties just to hand them to Republicans, and 2) have a credible that that forces Republicans to do his bidding.

The funniest thing about stuff like this is that there are already a hundred political parties in the US. Every time someone says “we need a third party,” it reminds me of that xkcd comic about standards and protocols.

What kind of shitty click bait is this?
The richest man in the world officially announced on Saturday that he has officially formed a new political party to challenge Republicans and Democrats alike.
He fucking tweeted that it was created, literally nothing official.
And when the president tweets it's for some reason official and should be followed... We live in a really stupid age where the government and politics in the US is governed by social media.

Honestly, I am tentatively very excited about this. Not because I support that nazi in any way whatsoever. I am excited because he stands to be a significant spoiler for the GOPs elections.
He will pull a Joe Rogan and endorse Trump last minute.

I'm surprised he didn't try to meme it up and call it the Lemon Party.

I hope this would split the vote among magas and republicans and the dems would be a shoe in. Sadly, I've lost a lot of faith in the dems and their ability to effectively fight for the people. Maybe we need even more parties?

The entire Democrat demographic hates him for kissing Trumps ass.
The entire Trump demogaphic hates him for going against Trump.
And the Republican demographic have never liked him as far as I'm aware.
So.... who are his voters? Probably just a convenient way to shuffle money around.
This isn’t about money. It’s about Elon Musk‘s ego and will to power.
He's completely unable to read the room. Understandable really, he doesn't exist in the same world as the rest of us really.

I fail to see how splitting up the fascists is anything but a good thing. Let them fight.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back... I know they're far too stupid for that.

He can fuck right off. I don't believe him and Trump are actually at odds and I think this is an attempt to create an opposition party that's even more under conservative control than the Democrats are.

How many weeks before he gets bored and abandons it when things don’t immediately work, just like everything else in his useless life?

Just in: Elon Musk can fuck off. Preferably to Mars, permanently.
Fuck him and his political party.
Hey you guyz, now there is another billionaire you can donate your money to and he will do nothing for you. Cool!
Oh, can "aliens" start political parties in the USA?
Imma start a "British Colony" party over there; anyone want to join me? MAABCA.
