If you want to join a party that won’t judge you for holding a certain belief or attitude (as long as you are cool with others who might differ from you too) the @Fwd_Party wants to talk to you. 😀🇺🇸
@KitParsons3@Fwd_Party Take care of yourself and just try to keep in mind that we're dealing with an extreme form of artificial scarcity where people feel that anyone who isn't in their tribe is trying to destroy them and everything they love, even if you're just trying to end the scarcity for them.
Think that Americans of different backgrounds and beliefs should respect each other regardless of differences of opinion? That everyone matters, from urban to rural areas? The #ForwardParty may be for you. ⬆️🇺🇸
So today on the highway some guy scared the crap out of me on route 3 north in MA... he saw my Yang2020 bumper sticker and honked which startled me but he rolled down his window gave me a thumbs up and yelled "go yanggang" so cheers dude

It turns out that 70% of races are uncompetitive because Dems aren’t competing in rural areas and Republicans aren’t competing in most urban areas. Most of the country is a one-party system. So there’s a lot of opportunity to do some good.
For the record I’m for women’s reproductive rights and common sense gun safety regulations as are the majority of Americans. You can want these things regardless of party affiliation. My question is why are we not getting these things?
1) Bad news: The two-party doom loop is real and getting worse. Partisan hostility continues to rapidly increase.
2) Good news: Majorities of Americans recognize the solution: 71% agree we need more than just two parties.

It turns out that a lot of people want to change the system for different reasons. But the system has set up massive hurdles that will keep most efforts from working. Kim Iversen compared us to a dinosaur in Jurassic Park looking for weak spots. https://t.co/lp2tetBU2n
I’m an entrepreneur and enjoy building things and solving problems. Breaking up the duopoly and giving people more genuine choices requires a lot of things; ballot access is very difficult to attain for example, by design. You need a lot of energized people and resources.
Now here’s the game they will play. They will try to slot you into a left - right bucket; are you a MPP or Green or conservative? What are you for? Any choice you make pushes you into a corner and turns off half the country thus making your movement unsuccessful. Duopoly wins.
It turns out that everyone wants a better option or more choice for different reasons. Can you bring people together of different views and say, “Let’s make this system open for everyone, and hash it out then after we actually have a real chance and voice?” It’s your only shot.
