“‘Is it time to create a new political party in America,’ Elon Musk asks in a Twitte … er, ‘X’ … poll, ‘that actually represents the 80% in the middle?’ As of this writing, 80.4% of respondents say ‘yes,’ which seems to track well with whatever his definition of ‘the middle’ might be. He’s far from the first to suggest, or even try to organize, a ‘third’ party, but the idea as he frames it is likely doomed. … Why don’t they just rise up and throw the Republican and Democratic bums out? Because ‘the 80% in the middle’ don’t really exist as a coalition or constituency with shared interests and positions, that’s why.” (06/07/25)
