Forwardists: Since we’re the party of election reform, what are your thoughts on the 4 election reforms included in Dr. Cornel West’s 2024 platform?
1) Ranked choice voting
2) Public financing of elections
3) Eliminate the Electoral College
4) National holiday for voting
One-party states are unaccountable to the People.
It does not matter whether that one-party rule is Democratic or Republican.
If there is no real competition in elections, then there is no way for voters—Ds, Rs, independents or 3rd party—to hold their representatives accountable at the ballot box.
The People need a meaningful voice before we can have a meaningful conversation about policy and government.
The Forward Party doesn’t want to replace one of the two parties, we want to replace the two party system with 5 or 6 national parties. If you’re on board with that, let’s work together! 🇺🇸🤝
.@danabrams offers a politically moderate, legal analysis of the case against former President Donald Trump. Trump's former attorney @RudyGiuliani joins #DanAbramsLive to give his take.
42% of America is independent.
<1% of DC lawmakers are independent.
Make our government representative again. Voting reform, nonpartisan primaries, ballot access reform, independent redistricting commissions, campaign finance reform, whatever your state needs—let’s get it done.
Almost half of the states in the nation (24) prohibit independents from voting in primary elections unless they’re registered as a Republican or Democrat. And yet, like R’s and D’s, independents still pay for these primary elections with their tax dollars. Forward is here to change that. We need open, nonpartisan primaries in every single state.
Knowing the outcome of 90% of our elections before they happen is not democracy.
If you want to restore the democracy that has been undermined and rigged by the @DNC and the @GOP, the @Fwd_Party wants to work with you.
For #GenZ, “democracy” has meant knowing the outcome of 80-90% of elections before they happen, and representatives with 15% approval who’ve been in power since our parents were in grade school.
If your idea of democracy is different from the above, @Fwd_Party is your home.
It's time to put aside our differences and unite towards a common goal: building a new political party that truly represents the people. Let's create a brighter future and move #ForwardTogether.
The American system is structured to exacerbate the urban-rural divide. Wouldn’t it be nice if each citizen’s vote would count equally regardless of location?
The Forward Party is working to fix this

I’m surprised at how many people expect @Fwd_Party to run national candidates immediately.
For decades, Libertarians and Greens have tried running national campaigns to “get the message out.” It never worked. We have to acknowledge that if we’re going to succeed.
@Fwd_Party Not gonna lie. Biden has his moments. I’d like to see some younger candidates next time around, but most of Biden’s policies are solid.
Happy to see both sides commit to not getting rid of social security and Medicare.
Let’s get some common sense in Congress
