    Time to abandon both parties and look forward!

    A shameless plug, I know, but I’m so sick of people arguing about which side is better, while actively doing nothing but fueling hate and divide. You realize they (gov & media) monitor online activity and push bots and ads to perpetuate this stuff to keep us preoccupied vs taking action.

    If you hate them (current cabinet) despite which side you lean towards, it’s time to take their power by taking their votes!

    Likewise, stop spewing hate or disdain towards one another because that’s exactly what keeps the problem around.

        The beautiful thing is, the Forward Party would endorse a candidate who ran with the same core values and beliefs. Whether that’s a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Reform, independent, etc.

          Useful in NY where 3rd party cross endorsement is printed on the ballot. Limited impact elsewhere unless you’ve got a media microphone
