If such a thing gets off the ground, it can’t compete long term. It will either replace or it will fade away.

Let’s just hope Musk doesn’t decide to give a billion dollars to the “Justice Democrats” or some other fringe offshoot, just to keep the Democratic Party from taking advantage of the chaos on the right. Put up enough advertising plus media money in the USA, and you can elect either Pat Paulsen or Tiny Tim from Laugh-In.

That would defeat his whole purpose for doing this. He's doing it to target Republicans. What he wants is for the Republican party to bend to his will - that is prioritize the things he prioritizes. He hopes to do that by defeating Republicans thus incentivizing them to move toward his point of view.

There's little chance of it working on more than a really small scale, but more power to him. This is not going to hurt the Democrats whatsoever.

With enough money and sufficient evil intentions, one could do it to the left as well.

Here in Germany, the Greens got off to a rocky start. But a majority of them chose pragmatism over strict dogma, and they are a viable, stable party here now. No Ralph Nader results on their agenda.

12. The young are very anti-war

If an anti-war person like Massie runs he could get a lot of the youth vote. Another person really up and coming and all over social media podcasts is commedian Dave Smith. As an Independent, he’s also very anti war..He has the largest Libertarian podcast. He endorsed Trump and then took his endorsement back.

As Dems, we need to embrace the young and the Justice Democrats. What we just saw in the NY mayors race reaffirmes this.

Musk wants a party to castrate the MAGA movement, and what better way than with some prominent former MAGA-ites.

He needs candidates that can win seats, and Cheney isn’t one of them.

Musk doesn't need real influencers in his party. That shit can be done by Ai and Ai looks better and never talks back.
