As a very normie Dem like Crow shows, you don’t have to be a raging lefty to speak the language that Democratic primary voters want to hear. As many have said, ideology is hardly even the dividing line anymore. Just show that you hate Trump and will deliver consequences when you win back power.

If you feel that the two-party system doesn't represent you very well, that's probably because it doesn't represent you very well. We're building a party and a movement to give voice and representation to the voiceless and unrepresented.

We urge Texas lawmakers to reject this partisan redistricting plan and instead adopt an independent, nonpartisan approach to drawing congressional districts. Voters should pick their leaders—leaders should not be allowed to rig the system to keep power. #TexasForward #ForwardParty

I lived in a notorious dictatorship (Myanmar/Burma). I saw 1st hand how to literally destroy a perfectly good country so that a small minority get wealth & power. EVERYTHING is ruined and people live in extreme fear. Ethnic cleansing is a reality. Americans better wake up.

This. 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.
