Elon Musk is threatening to put "America Party" candidates on the ballot. Democrats are really into the idea.

Please create this third party; please drag away at least 10% of the looney right away from Trump; please spend another $280 million to do this.

Americans are into the oligarchy party, that will exacerbate the historic level of wealth inequality?

The fate of the new parties - America Party in the US and the Corbyn party in the UK - in the different contexts of the US and UK politics will be worth watching.

That’s an unimaginative, uninspiring name for a party. Fess up to what your party is about Elon. The tech utopia dimwits, the eugenicists, the bureaucracy black-holers, the big-balls for all?

When has a third Party ever benefitted Democrats? I'd tread carefully if I were the Democrats, this could siphon off Independents and Republicans who might have voted against maga candidates.

Look at elections where we had votes taken from Dems with 3rd parties.

Yeah but that’s Green Party and Ralph Nader. Also look at Ross Perot - he’s 100% the reason Clinton won. The nature of the third party is completely relevant and Musk will attract MAGAs and cryptobros before anyone else. Hard to see that hurting the Dems.

Elmo won't attract magats, they sided with Donny in the bromance break-up recently, did you see that? Elmo will influence his tech/crypto fanboy base, but not magats.

Whatever he says, Musk is never the answer. Never! Remember helped destroy the government, essentially destroying America from within. He should've been imprisoned for that alone.

DEMers are most likely besides themselves re the prospect of Musk & Co. fracturing/dividing the GOPer cohort. But, even if Musk & Co. are able to pull it off, it won't change much of anything re USA's policies, voter apathy, etc. and, more significantly, USA's trajectory to a shitsville condition.

Careful what you wish for…money loves money. Just watch what happened in NYC mayoral race with where and who the money backed. Do they think their wealthy benefactors will not be all over Musk? If you want the votes, be a Bernie in a sea of Cuomos.

I think a well-funded alternative party only needs 5-7 seats in the House to control the legislative agenda. The US has become so polarized that such an alternative may be the only way to save democracy.

Dems are sooooo fucking stupid. Here's what will happen. The moderates they are obsessed with gaining will vote for Elon's party. And since the Dems refuse to embrace the left, they will lose votes, not gain votes.

The Democrats had better be very careful about who they associate with… because Elon Musk is no friend to America or democracy.
