Former Republicans and Democrats form new third U.S. political party

Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's dysfunctional two-party system.

This should make for some interesting spectacle come November

    Lol what’s this party, The Liberal melt party?

    Not implying dems are more left, they aren’t just find it funny the king centrist himself Yang is trying to start a third party which ironically given how right wing the dems are might make his cluster fuck the most left party in America. Oh lord.

    The party, which is centrist, has no specific policies yet.

    In an interview, Yang said the party will start with a budget of about $5 million. It has donors lined up and a grassroots membership between the three merged groups numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

    Hmmmmmm

    Yang is a clueless idiot. He doesn’t seem quite as cynical as most democrats or as sinister as most republicans. That’s the only nice thing I can say about him. This party will be worthless.

    Democrats will scapegoat this org just like they scapegoat DSA every time they lose to Republicans, even though all four of them are actually the same damn thing with different color shit coming out the ass.

    Silly ass pipe dream but what are the ramifications if he won the presidency on that ticket? Or if they become a sizable minority within congress? Obviously their policy ideas won’t be meaningfully any different from the repubdems, but it’d be a pretty weird time if a third party of any caliber got representation.

      If the Forward Party wins, then instead of self-sabotaging neoliberal Fascism or outright Nazism, America will finally have a different system in place - semi effective neoliberal Fascism with techbro characteristics.

      It’s all so deeply reactionary that it really all is different flavors of Fascism. I wish people were right when they said we’re exaggerating.
