Is that why he's suddenly criticizing Trump? He thinks he can split the Democratic vote?

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!

I'm really happy about this, always thought 1 flavour of fascism wasn't enough for me /s
I love them having to pick between techbro douchey edgelord and failed game show host douchey edgelord.
Let's split that vote. Let them battle it out to get the deplorable vote and let normal Americans run this place again, FFS.

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.

Hey you guyz, now there is another billionaire you can donate your money to and he will do nothing for you. Cool!
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.
....but the nazi party already existed.
Split the ring wing vote. Let them fight it out. Hopefully this could mean getting them out of the White House.
So, another copy of the Libertarian Party?
But even more barefacedly just "republicans who don't want to pay their taxes"

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.
knowing musk ox, the party name will spell something juvenile
