At the end of our 3mi dirt road my horses and I are distinctly Not Retired. On a clear day we can see 50 mi in all directions. First marriage of 45yrs! Extraordinary partner! Kids are a treasure. Don't get me started on grandkids.

I was proud to send you a donation today. I think Floridians are fortunate to have the opportunity to evaluate your candidacy.

It’s Day 443 of #GeorgiaProtests and Aza Chilachava, an elderly IDP from Abkhazia, still protests almost every day, even despite being targeted by the regime.

The FBI’s newly unsealed search warrant affidavit is a laundry list of rehashed claims from the same election deniers whose 2020 conspiracy theories were investigated, litigated, and proven false.

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.

I love this platform — it’s my first social experience (couldn’t live with the privacy intrusions and anger baiting of the others). I need tips on how to tweak my algo. I am a hardcore political indie with both centrist & conservative stances. Love to have my feed amplify my tastes. Thanks

It also depends o his intentions. I view him as a megalomaniac who couldn't care less about democracy. Third parties have historically fared poorly in our system which, like all duopolies, colludes to mute other entrants. I also think trying to coalesce others around a "platform" is flawed.

I agree with the guest. I too blame both parties for the disgraceful state of affairs. They both want to limit choice and are the main reason we become so shamefully polarized. One is captive; the other hiding under the couch.

Jarratt Applewhite @jarratt.bsky.social · 03/08/2025
Totally untrue. It's trying to unite us around values rather than policies (www.forwardparty.com#values) That's smart -- one size fits all doesn't work. I am a a conservative who embraces his approach. Lots here like me including many candidates.

Trudat! Both parties do share the blame‼️ Gerrymandering. Not running in "safe" districts. Avoiding compromise. One is captive; the other covering under the couch. It's the major parties that have ushered in increasing polarization.

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 remember the pre-toadie Marco. I never saw him as exceptionally strong, but never thought he would debase himself. Ditto 95% of R pols. This is exactly how Hitler came to power. We now know starkly what Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement accelerated the loss of freedom.

Most of the BBB's deleterious effects won't be felt til after the midterms. The somnambulant Ds seem poised to snatch defeat out of the potential jaws of victory. Instead of cowering under the couch, they should try offense. And then more offense‼️

We'll see more of this. This sector is awash in innovation. Tesla is the only company whose sensing tech relies solely on visual data. All others use lidar & other techs that allow their platform to "see" through weather related issues like fog as well as visual misinformation like glare.
