Reposted by David HinckleyBen Winslow @benwinslow.bsky.social · 22/10/2025NEW: Sen. Daniel Thatcher, the Forward Party’s lone member in the Utah legislature, announces he’ll resign before the next session. Typically, party delegates pick a replacement to serve the remainder of a term. But the party says it’s working on something different with details soon. #utpol #Utah 0146

Thanks for speaking out, Representative, against the Texas gerrymander power grab. We need to acknowledge and openly support Republicans who stand up to their tyrannical party leader. 1113
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Left vs Right dualism has failed to make real progress on inequality, immigration, or equality. Reform can open the door for progress on all three. And my experience on the ground is that most members care deeply about these issues. 010
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 06/08/2025That's not how it is in practice. On the ground, we're unified around the recognition that the system has to change for us to see better results. 100

David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 27/06/2025This shocks the conscience. The horrors happening *right now* at American detention facilities will take some time to be fully understood. This is what happens when we put people in charge who lack basic decency. This cannot be who we are. 140
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 20/06/2025"Another Love" by Tom Odell was such a part of the Iran womens rights protests and solidarity with Ukraine that it's almost hard to imagine those movements without it. 000
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 20/06/2025I mean, seriously - a movement is built on more than just ideas and volunteers. We need shared music and other experiences to help us be a cohesive community that people want to join. This stuff is important! 000

David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 15/06/2025In Utah where I am and a lot of red states, FWD candidates can challenge the GOP in races where a Dem wouldn't stand a chance. We're all in it together to break entrenched power in single-party states. 020

David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Not caucusing with either. Doesn't really matter either way, since Republicans have a supermajority. 100
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Heck, yeah. We're operating everywhere. Just because we're not spoiling presidential races doesn't mean we're not out there supporting candidates and giving people moderate options in races one big party or the other has abandoned due to gerrymandering. 000
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 19/05/2025"Remember" the Forward Party? The Forward Party is growing strong. We have a sitting state senator in Utah! We just don't get as much coverage because we're starting local instead of making an ass of ourselves spoiling national races. 110
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 13/05/2025This. 100%. There's so much room in state legislatures to build a centrist party without playing spoiler, because most of the time, one of the parties has given up. There's no candidate. So a 3rd party is a 2nd choice. That's how the Forward Party is growing. 011
David Hinckley @davidhinckley.bsky.social · 12/05/2025This is just normal outreach and engagement stuff that every organization should be doing. Even if it's not scientific, it 1.
