Since Donny did what he did in the last election there have been a lot of grumbling on both sides of the aisle….now there is a story circulating about some secret meetings to counter the Donny agenda.
That will be news for another day if it is true…..but the loudest chest thumping for a third party comes from Elmo and seems for now many Americans think it is a good idea…..
It comes after the world’s richest man claimed he would launch “the America Party” in response to Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which he described as “insane.” A disagreement over the bill between the two men led to an explosive online fallout last month.
Lawmakers voted to pass the bill Thursday and it was signed by the president Friday.
“Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE,” Musk wrote in a string of X posts Monday. “Great day for some … fireworks,” he wrote on Friday, adding two fire emojis.
Quantus Insights’ poll was conducted between June 30-July 2 among 1,000 registered voters, with a 3 percent margin of error.
The pollster highlighted that, though 40 percent of respondents were in favor of Musk’s hypothetical third party, the result was unsurprising. In 2023, a Gallup poll found that 63 percent of Americans supported an alternative third political party.
The survey also revealed clear divides across party lines and demographics, with male Republicans appearing to be the most interested in a party launched by Musk.
Some 23 percent of Republican men said they are “very likely” and 34 percent say “somewhat likely” to back the America Party, and over half (57 percent) expressed openness to Musk as a political brand.
Nearly half (47 percent) of independent men said they were likely to support the America Party.

Breaking news–while I was writing this the news broke that thye America Party is a done deal….
Because his people demanded it, Elon Musk posted Saturday on X, “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” On Friday, the billionaire had put the question to his followers on X, as he’s done with other issues, Reuters reports. His Saturday post announced the decision was a landslide. “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk wrote. He’d been bringing up the possibility since his bitter split with President Trump, per Politico, most recently early this week as he attacked the tax break and spending cut legislation.
It was only two months ago that Musk announced he was going to cut his political spending, saying he had “done enough,” Politico points out. Musk provided no details about the launch, and the party does not seem to be registered with the Federal Election Commission, per CNBC.
But he suggested a strategy for it on Friday. “One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,” Musk posted, per Axios. “Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.”
It appears that he has the brain child of trying to control Congress….
It is unclear what his potential new third party would stand for, and the country does notably boast several other third parties on both sides of the aisle.
However, none have been able to cut through the popularity of the two mainstream parties. That said, the success of Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist born to Muslim-Indian parents in Uganda and raised in Queens who beat longtime establishment politician Andrew Cuomo in last month’s mayoral primary election, has seemingly threatened both parties’ bases.
Panic across the aisle has followed his win as centrists fear the rise of a true progressive potentially running the nation’s largest city. The president has even threatened to deport the self-described socialist.
The former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader shared his thoughts on how to give his third party, which likely would lean center-right, staying power.
“One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,” the Tesla CEO wrote on X.

Will this yet another scam like the old ‘Unity’ deal a few years back?
Most my readers know that I do not care much for either of our two parties so would I support this endeavor?
Probably not….why?
It will most likely be a centrist party I do not think that is what the country needs to move forward.
Centrism is what got us to this point….we need bold new ideas and centrist have nothing but stale antiquated crap….this country needs progress and that will not be from a centrist candidate/party.
