I remember when H. Ross Perot joined the Reform Party, ran against Clinton, and stole votes from the Republicans. In modern times, no third-party candidate has been elected President.

Same for grok, but don't tell a16z's limiteds.

Notably absent: any detail of what the party's platform is other than "we're not the other guys."

reduce debt, responsible spending only
modernize military with ai/robotics
pro tech, accelerate to win in ai
less regulation across board but especially in energy
free speech
pro natalist
centrist policies everywhere else

Obviously that last catch all bullet is where things get complicated.

The same "free speech" he uses for Twitter/X I presume. Which means "free speech for me but not for you".
