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.Tech CEO Elon Musk has teased several times the creation of a new party, even opening up a poll on X to see what his users think about the id...
I’ll gladly accept a reactionary centrist spoiler party into the mix. Especially if it coincides with the Clinton wing of the DNC losing its ability to maintain its grip on power.
What is the “Clinton wing” of the DNC?
The Dems who, since the shock of the Reagan revolution, swore off having a political project beyond “don’t make it worse” but accidentally foreclosed on making things better in the process. More recently, they’ve been heard saying things like “nothing will fundamentally change” in the face of a political situation that is very different from 40 years earlier.
Basically all the powerful Dems since Bill Clinton. Groups like the Democratic Leadership Council. They’ll poo poo ideas that regularly poll at 80% support across all parties, then spend all their political capital barely carrying a compromise position with 48% support across the finish line.
I really hope that we’re reaching a tipping point where people who believe in a better world and pursue policies to bring it about can have sustained political success

Elon Musk, the neonazi, centrist?
Obviously, they’re nothing centrist about this guy (besides, perhaps, his perceived position in the universe). They are, in fact, reactionaries, so definitionally right wing. But they believe they are splitting the difference between the Stalinist left (exemplified by the NYT) and the fascist right (unbeknownst to them, them).
