“FORWARD” is a brand new political party! It will cater primarily to Normal American People. They will heal the division, make us rich again, make us proud again, make us ONE people again, where we will all get along and love each each other … just like it was in 1618 (the year before everything got all fucked up and shit). Now all you pussified faggot “I-Will-Not-Vote” crybabies have no excuse! You now have a choice! I, for one, will give these brave folks a serious Look-See. So should you.

Most third parties have failed. Here’s why ours won’t.
By David Jolly, Christine Todd Whitman, and Andrew Yang
Political extremism is ripping our nation apart, and the two major parties have failed to remedy the crisis. Last week, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol led us to relive one of the darkest days in U.S. history. The chilling culmination of an attempted electoral coup in the United States was the strongest evidence yet that we are facing the potential demise of our democracy.
Polarization is fueling a spike in political intimidation. In the past two years, we’ve seen death threats and assassination plots against members of Congress, governors, Supreme Court justices and even the vice president of the United States.
If nothing is done, the United States will not reach its 300th birthday this century in recognizable form. That’s why we are coming together — Democrats, Republicans and independents — to build a new, unifying political party for the majority of Americans who want to move past divisiveness and reject extremism.
Americans have lost faith in government. Nearly 8 in 10 say the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to a recent survey, and two-thirds of voters think neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have the right priorities.
Shockingly, roughly 30 million Americans believe violence against the current government is justified. The same number want to forcibly return former president Donald Trump to the White House. This is what happens when democracies fail: People feel their voices are not heard and radicalize to take up arms, leading to mainstream talk about “civil war.”
How do you remedy such a crisis? In a system torn apart by two increasingly divided extremes, you must reintroduce choice and competition.
The United States badly needs a new political party — one that reflects the moderate, common-sense majority. Today’s outdated parties have failed by catering to the fringes. As a result, most Americans feel they aren’t represented.
Most third parties in U.S. history failed to take off, either because they were ideologically too narrow or the population was uninterested. But voters are calling for a new party now more than ever.
For the first time in modern history, roughly half of Americans consider themselves “independents,” and two-thirds say a new party is needed (and would vote for it). Surprisingly, a majority of Democrats and Republicans say they want another option, too.
As leaders and former elected officials, we’re tired of just talking about a third way. So this month, we’re merging our three national organizations — which represent the left, right, and center of the political spectrum — to build the launchpad for a new political party called Forward.
The two major parties have hollowed out the sensible center of our political system — even though that’s where most voters want to see them move. A new party must stake out the space in between. On every issue facing this nation — from the controversial to the mundane — we can find a reasonable approach most Americans agree on.
On guns, for instance, most Americans don’t agree with calls from the far left to confiscate all guns and repeal the Second Amendment, but they’re also rightfully worried by the far right’s insistence on eliminating gun laws. On climate change, most Americans don’t agree with calls from the far left to completely upend our economy and way of life, but they also reject the far right’s denial that there is even a problem. On abortion, most Americans don’t agree with the far left’s extreme views on late-term abortions, but they also are alarmed by the far right’s quest to make a woman’s choice a criminal offense.
To succeed, a new party must break down the barriers that stand between voters and more political choices. Accordingly, we will passionately advocate electoral changes such as ranked-choice voting and open primaries; for the end of gerrymandering; and for the nationwide protection of voting rights and a push to make voting remarkably easy for anyone and incredibly secure for everyone.
Without such systemic changes, Americans will be left with a closed system and fewer options on the ballot. These reforms go hand in hand with a new party.
Some call third parties “spoilers,” but the system is already spoiled. There are more than 500,000 elected positions in the United States, but a recent study found more than 70 percent of races on ballots in 2020 were unopposed or uncontested. A tiny sliver of U.S. congressional seats will have close races this November. The two major parties have shut out competition, and America is suffering as a result.
That’s why we’re proposing the first “open” party. Americans of all stripes — Democrats, Republicans and independents — are invited to be a part of the process, without abandoning their existing political affiliations, by joining us to discuss building an optimistic and inclusive home for the politically homeless majority.
Our merged organizations are just the starting point, the launchpad for this movement. We are planning liftoff at a national convention next summer and will soon seek state-by-state ballot access to run candidates in 2024 and beyond. We are actively recruiting former U.S. representatives, governors, entrepreneurs, top political operatives and community leaders to make it happen.
America’s founders warned about the dangers of a two-party system. Today, we’re living with the dire consequences. Giving Americans more choices is important not just for restoring civility. Our lives, our livelihoods and our way of life depend on it.

It would be nice if there were a political solution. I can’t see it though.
Yep, weren’t the Republicrats in control of both houses and the supreme court while Trunk was in office and…nothing happened (‘trust the plan’).
Didn’t that jerkoff Teddy Roosevelt help get Woodrow Wilson in office by splitting the Republican vote with his Bull Shit Party?
At first I thought it must be a Babylon Bee article.
I don’t agree with any elected official being instated with less than a majority vote. I believe any electoral system with more than 2 political parties must have an electoral runoff between the two candidates with the most votes if neither gains a more than 50% vote in the initial election.
We do electoral college.
Until you have 270 electoral votes, you ain’t president.
Fuck the majority.
That’s democracy, and that is the death of a nation.
Two wolves and a sheep voting for dinner. And then the wolves
are hungry the next day. What’s for dinner now?
In presidential elections only not the other tens of thousands of elections every year across the country.
Duck the majority?
Only in matters of individual liberty being attacked. In all other matters majority rules.
You strike me as a low class wanna be tough guy.
I’m not a “wanna be”
And you prove yourself an uneducated fool who can’t read.
The first thing I wrote is “you ain’t president”.
My IQ went down just responding to your idiocy.
Won’t waste my time doing that again.
Ta-ta, Half-wit.
It’s a well armed sheep that can contest that vote.
The Three Little Pigs of the Swampy Deep State are going to fix everything!
Hallelujah!
The fact that they take the AGW climate hoax in any way seriously instantly
identifies them as agents of the WEF. Whenever someone says “moderate” or “common sense” you you know for certain you are in the company of liars and charlatains.
Burn them! Burn them with fire!
How about,
“We will follow the exact words of the constitution with religious fervor. ”
Sign me up for that party.
Ok …. Barney Fife 2024!!!

It could have been ME TOO! I just stepped in my door after talking to my neighbor, Bob, About increasing our annual donation to the F.O.P.A.
I’m currently safe, but…What about Bob?”
I can die happy now seeing that.
If only they had shot that STASI POS full of holes.
I remember watching that on Audit the Audit yt channel last year. That ATF agent was a fucken dipshit.
He got a lot less than he deserved.
ZFG, out.
Yeah, wouldn’t that suck if we REALLY followed the constitution
instead of letting Hollywood make a joke of it?
Andrew fucking Yang, my nether eye! That so-called proposal goes straight SWAMP in the first 100 words.
Stucky you are losing your marbles. Can’t keep an idea in your head for more that a minute before you go off the next deep end. Or is that depends?
Been voting Constitution Party for a long time now. Hoping more and more people catch on.
If you guys have not figured it out already, Stucky is just an f’n glowie.
So is LoLiPOHp.
Do not let them influence you.
Thanks for warning us, bug. Everyone is super excited about what you just did, they just don’t know it yet.
Bullshit. They are never at the meetings.
Stucky trolling again.
Yea, another troll post by Stucky to reap the down vote. I guess it’s one of his hobbies now.
As we have been shown by our “overlords”, voting is useless.
We must thank them for that truth, and now move on from that modern
way of eliminating tyrants and go back to the tried and true way of eliminating them.
Violent revolution.
Ethan Allen, Thomas Paine, William Penn, Viscount Lafayette,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason, George Washington redux. Ammo up.
Not going to happen. The ‘armed and angry’ will do fuck all. They are nothing but chest beating posers.
Oh I know, right after the ‘next’ horrible thing TPTB do, the patriots will rise up. ##Tomorrow, tomorrow, it’s always a day away.##
Wish I was wrong. I am not.
We’ll see.
Great. A new party staffed by members of…..the old parties.
Just what we need. /s
C’mon, Mel!!! Stop being so judgmental. Why? Because …. people can change!
Johnny was once a drunk boozing whore chasing rascal …. and then he saw the light!

Give these folks a chance, will ya?
Just imagine David Jolly, Christine Todd Whitman, Andrew Yang and …. YOU …. proclaiming harmoniously that “you saw the light”. Now imagine millions doing the same.
THAT, sir, is how we change America!
“but they’re also rightfully worried by the far right’s insistence on eliminating gun laws. On climate change, most Americans don’t agree with calls from the far left to completely upend our economy and way of life, but they also reject the far right’s denial that there is even a problem”
NO and NO
You will have to imagine, because it will never happen in reality.
Yeah, sounds great! Vote for the exact middle of the shit show. A lukewarm milkshake.
The new improved Ron Paul. Crap your hands… we can haz stimmie and sustainability too !!!
Full disclosure. I campaigned for YangBang in 2020.

I made it this far and could not go on.
A giant ditto for me, TN!!
Agreed… that the statement in of itself states this is progressivisim part deux. Nothing but prattle can come from anyone within the system from either party… with very, very few exceptions. The solutions cannot come from the elites that have placed themselves above everyone else because they only want to change to ensure their continued rule. A third party might be helpful, but from a slate born of the silent majority based upon sound constitutional principles. We all know this will never be allowed to happen before the FEMA camps open.
Oh, just what nobody asked for. A fake moderate fake political party that is socially liberal and anti-White, too, just like the two existing fake main political parties.
Rest assured that you will be able to see all of these guys at AIPAC.
It is not about this party or that party or a third or fourth or gazillionth one, but about the entire idea of voting for a “representarive”, who lied to you, you know he lied, he knows you know he lied, and yet you vote for him thinking he is the lesser of two evils and thus still evil, and then he gets to do whatever he wants for a few years with your money and without any accountability. The system has to go away in its entirety.
“Crybaby nonvoting Svarga Loka” <==== Ok, that's funny!!
You know what's not funny? All the noodlehead nabobs of negativity!
I'm trying like hell to bring Good News to the flock this Sunday. And all I read wah, wah, WAH!!!
Well, eff dat chit! I'm leaving and never coming back. Thanks for nuffin!!!
You are real saint, Stucky. Everyone says so.
Channeling Spiro Agnew? “nabobs of negativity”
“Nattering nabobs of negativity”–let’s get it right people.
I couldn’t quite remember the nattering…
“Noodlehead Nabobs of Negativity” ???
Eureka Stuck! You are a Man. Nailed it.
Nicely noteworthy, novel name. ‘New’ 3rd party? Noticeably needed.
What animal would represent Us, as the NNN party?
Narwhal, Newfypoo, & Nightingale only 3 that spring to mind that would seem to be ‘positive. Numbat? while admittedly cute, just doesn’t ’sound’ righ…correct. Night adder, (wishful thinking) seems kinda negative. Kinda like a Neanderthal. Too Easy!
WHAT would be our Platform? SOMETHING Noetic, yet nifty & natty. Too. Nascent AND nuanced, to say the least. i’d give it the nod.
$#@!…just now realized…ONLY 3 letters away. From KKK. Someone might notice, Naturally.
AND, they might call us Kare…Sorry!…Nancy’s… 💡!!!
Let’s LEARN from hannity(capped)! Something kinda with mass appeal. We could substitute a Football for the animal!
Recently, learned a new nomenclature: Naology. The study of sacred Edifices. WE could replace the White House.
With a Dog House. Then, ALL we would need is some Super Model to display our emblem in various poses.
I’d vote for THAT!

Nudged him to death!
“Well, eff dat chit! I’m leaving and never coming back. Thanks for nuffin!!!”
Promise?!?
What any sane prophet would do faced with this crowd.
Every day I become more sure that there is fuck all of humanity worth trying to save. Even the ‘slightly better than average’ are still shit.
Globalist swamp ghouls attempting to give demoralized Americans hope, to keep them bought into this evil system. Hopefully people see through this.
So yet another party with NO principles whatsoever. Aren’t two already enough? In principle I support the Libertarian Party, worked for decades to advance their agenda, ran as a candidate for State Senate in 1994 under their banner, got lots of signatures to put candidates and initiatives on the ballot, and over think they have the right principles for maximum success in actually going after the root cause of all problems – the government. But like most organizations, they have serious internal problems and care more about elections that advancing principles. This new party sounds like just another watered down version of the two worthless parties we already have. Working to not offend anyone is how we got here. Not understanding the principles well enough to actually explain them or stick to them when elected is how we got today’s GOP. At least the Libertarians could explain the principles and why slashing government was the critical best move. But NOBODY that is fed up with the current bullshit actually wants to fix the problems with REAL solutions because their ox will certainly get gored, and they can’t have that.
Don’t fall for this , the Commies are scared shitless !

It’s a controlled opposition honey trap.
Which part is the honey?
Khazarian Milkers.
This party will catastrophically fail. It is basically the party of establishment and RINOs. Total failure. I guess they have not seen 2000 Mules and exanimed the work of Dr. Douglas Frank. They have no chance. Maybe some disgruntled dems will join. I don’t know.
The GOP simply doesn’t care.
I am not interested in people looking to heal division. It is time for the sword and the vanquishing of enemies, or we just wait it out and let them destroy themselves.
I not joining any group pushing the ridiculous January 6 “insurrection” BS
Welcome to … ‘Operation : Split the vote’
No third party will ever be allowed ballot access. In a few states, maybe, but never enough to actually win.
Ballot access laws around the country are truly onerous. In GA, they are so bad that no person has qualified as a third party candidate on the ballot for a US House race since 1935! Check out Richard Winger’s great website ballot-access.org to find out everything you want to know about ballot access laws around the country. This new party doesn’t stand a chance, and certs won’t be able to maintain ballot status for long.
liberty,
in races where rich,influential donors want to cause a candidate to lose,they will have the $ to qualify & get on the ballot–
otherwise,you are correct–
But random asshole rich folks do not make or sustain a party. Just look at the Reform party.
People still think we are voting our way out of this… how quaint.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe!”
First thought was it was an article from the “BEE”. Then realized the klowns were serious. Color my pronouns as not interested in a water downed political bunch of has beens.
Go DIAF. You pricks are the reason we need a real third party.
A new party made up of scumbags from the two current parties, to fool the dumb masses and make them think they have a new choice. Sadly, they’ll probably con a lot of very dumb people into believing it.
Isn’t The Forward the national Jewish newspaper?
Bindy- Many commie publications used the name FORWARD, Obama used the FORWARD commie theme to death. That’s not limited to this country as there was the FORWARD commie party in India and also Russia. FORWARD and PROGRESSIVE are commie terms. This crap never seems to end, FORWARD over the cliff.
So, we have a RINO Ex-Guv of NJ, a chink that ran for the demopedo nomination in 2020 & have no idea who the other fart is. And they’re going to save the USA.
Sounds like a demopedo plan to draw off just enough RINO votes, iMO.

Uh-huh. Andrew Yang.
Nah, BITFD
How big a tent is this new party? ;0

Later this week:
An inexplicable explosion of monkeypox cases has hit the San Francisco gay community.
I don’t think that they care, much like with AIDS, they ‘did it’ anyway.
If the new party doesn’t recognize Israel I’ll have hope.
It’s called Forward.
That’s all I’m saying.
More hornswoggling.
Fuck off I don’t plan on splitting my vote, between the corrupt satanists’ and the useless RINO’s I’ll take my chances with war.
“The chilling culmination of an attempted electoral coup in the United States was the strongest evidence yet that we are facing the potential demise of our democracy.”
Sorry, lost me at the third sentence. No sense in plowing on.
“In a system torn apart by two increasingly divided extremes, you must reintroduce choice and competition.”
Increasing choices for immorality while marginalizing the moral is just more of the same.
BREAKING NEWS …..
Lt Uhura has passed: Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek, dies from heart failure at age 89.

That’s because Kirk would fuck a Tribble if he could find the hole.
I believe Kirk and Sulu are the only original crew members alive. How odd … since one couldn’t keep his dick out of any vagina, and the other couldn’t keep his dick out of any man’s ass.

Christine Todd Whitman is a member and former director of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Fellow CFR members on the “Biden team” include the secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security. Also the CIA director, Fed chairman, UN ambassador, and dozens more.
“Forward!” has been a Socialist slogan for more than a century. It’s also the name of the oldest Jewish magazine in New York. Imagine that… https://forward.com/
The ONLY thing ‘third party alternatives” do in American politics is draw votes AWAY from GOP candidates insuring that the Demonrat candidate always wins. The Demonrat faithful will ALWAYS vote for their party’s candidate….even if it was Satan himself. So a third party doesn’t hurt them….it only helps them. We’ll see the same thing here. It’s a virtual certainty that DNC leftist money is behind this push for a “third party” because they KNOW it will help them.
VOTE HARDER!!!
starting off by trashing one side isnt really a move in the right direction
“the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol led us to relive one of the darkest days in U.S. history.” Pure bullshit.
Andrew Yang, a failed Democratic politician with even weirder views than most Democrats.
I will continue to be a libertarian and an independent. Don’t be fooled by a Democrat and two RINO’s
“attempted electoral coup”. bullshit.
Perhaps this new party (“open” to what?) could lead the way and stop calling the American system of government a “democracy.” We are a Republic, not a democracy. But I would hardly expect the Compost, and whatever it spawns, to recall basic facts.
Andrew Yang? Christine Todd Whiteman?…lol!
You lost me at…
“one of the darkest days in U.S. history. The chilling culmination of an attempted electoral coup”.
No need to read further. Thanks for nothing.
