Washington Post isn't exactly a beacon of truth and justice.

The Dems leaned hard on the never Trumpers for votes last year and you can see where that got them. Elon can have them.

Republican never Trumper that doesn't vote GOP is likely vanishingly small. They all fall in line.

It might siphon off the GOP voters that begrudingly fell in line because they bought the Communist Kamala or something, or the ones that needed to see Trump disaster a second time.

Yes, and without it, any third party struggles to take hold. This new party could make ranked choice voting a bipartisan(tripartisan?) issue since they would need it to survive unless they really think they can just yank all of the R votes their way.

Need new rules in House and Senate, too. The majority party gets majority in all the committees, gets to pick all the committee chairs, etc. All of the current non-D/non-R members 'caucus' with one of the major parties, making them de facto members of that party. A third party with enough representation to block the other two from gaining majority would almost certainly end up in an alliance with one, leaving us back with functional two-party politics.

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.

Same as it ever was. Same. As. It. Ever. Was

I'm smelling Musk's typical brand of vaporware.

I think your beef should be with all men then. As Trump voters increased in men by age. So you could factually say Gen Z men were the least likely to vote for Trump as well

All/most of them, or a few mediagenic alt-right examples the press can trot out as proof of “young men want fascism and Latin Mass” when they run out of MAGA-hatted Ordinary Americans in flyover-state diners?

You should check those numbers, because it went 51% to Harris. Splitting that means good things for Dems though. Dilution through stupidity.
