Split the ring wing vote. Let them fight it out. Hopefully this could mean getting them out of the White House.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A white South African dude created the American Party
ffs did somebody step on a bug in 2015 and change the whole timeline?
I'm thinking of doing a Ghost Dance to bring Harambe back
The American Billionaires Party?
If they manage to steal half the GOPs votes, we have reason to thank him.
Reading the article to see what ridiculous name he's going to give it.
"The America Party"?
TBH, pretty tame in Musk standards. At least it's pronounceable.
You support Elon Musk's party because the Republicans ripped you off.
I support Elon Musk's party because it will dilute the voters.
We are not equal.
Cool. Let the douches be split between who is more "maga" (baby talk) than the other and split all the worst people into an ineffective nothingburger when it comes to the ballot box.
I'm so tired of the various factions of the left pitting themselves against each other (and letting elitists/Russian and Chinese troll farms do this to them, too).
About time to have some extreme division on the wingnuts.
Andrew Yang be like..."First time?"
Cool so a third liberal party
I'm all for it. If Brewster's Millions taught me anything it's that involving yourself in US politics is the quickest way to lose vast sums of money.
Even opening up a poll on X to see what his users think about the idea...
Presumably the other headline that read '50% of voters' were in favour of this party, should have read '50% of X users who voted in the poll (a potentially large proportion of which were bots owned and controlled ultimately by Elon Musk) were in favour of this party'

US (and in fact all 'Western') media is as bent as anything in the former Soviet Union.

America certainly is in the hypernormalisation phase. I'm not sure how far behind the UK (and other Western nations media) is because I really don't engage in the media here. But any Murdoch owned media (like Fox in the US) is at the very least poisonous to open and fair democracy, and egalitarian society.
The Country Under Not Trump party
The Let That Sink In party?
Perfect timing. Just when everyone hates musk he wants votes.
Yea, that gonna be fun to cringewatch
Maybe that's the only way US will ever get a third party. I'm not an American but I do think american politics system would be significantly stronger even with a minority 3rd party. Can you imagine how powerful US would be with a diverse parlament that has true competition of ideas not just partisan voting? That's true "checks and balances".
We don't need more false choice though. This would be a another bourgeois party. The cards might be shuffled a bit and the rhetoric might change but it'd still be playing the same game with the same cards. It's still a game of "choose your favorite faction of rich people" despite the tweaks in messaging. There will still be an assurance of "nothing will fundamentally change" to the owners and donors.
Odd strategy.
Leftists won't buy it, and most liberals aren't going to buy it, and it might divide the right, while team blue is fracturing.
Gonna be a 4 on one, not a 3.
Ketamin kicked in and he thinks people like him again.
He's toxic now. Giving money to candidates will have the opposite effect.
So, another copy of the Libertarian Party?
But even more barefacedly just "republicans who don't want to pay their taxes"
