They never come up with good names with these things. The word forward is too much like progressive. They are dooooooomed.

The slogan will cheese some people off too. Not Left. Not Right. Forward.

The only way a third party stands any kind of chance is if a popular politician is behind it -like Trump, or Bernie.
They have to demonstrate that they can actually win elections. They would need to target moderate districts with lots of voters who genuinely are disgruntled with both sides. Then develop ground games in these districts and convince as many people as possible that they can formulate a better approach to governing.
Not like those two. They would just pull from one side and make it weaker. Needs someone in between. And no I don’t know who that is. As much as I hate to say it it probably have to be like the second term of Clinton.
New name time? Let’s spitball. How about “The Easily Manipulated Party” or maybe more seriously, “The Ungroomed Masses.”

The time for the left to have done it was 2016 when Bernie was jilted. Trump would be the guy this term, but it doesn’t draw the middle, which I think is the object.
Ooow, to borrow a quote from the end of this thread, “The Dead Armadillos.”
If it doesn’t draw from middle it and the side it draws from will die. They will split the vote.
Because nobody’s done it right yet😉 except maybe Reagan.

They would do that too, sure.
But that’s what it would take, effectively, for such a party to emerge. Country is just too divided with too many people married to Team Blue or Team Red.

Good. That will weaken the Democrat party the most because it moved so far left, it left their centrists behind. There will also be some Rs that felt abandoned by the MAGA movement but most of the damage will be to the Democrats IMO. This really is good news.
Maybe. But the formula for a third party is socially moderate, fiscally conservative. That pulls in all kinds of righties.
Yang has no star power to draw any kind of significant percentage from either party though. Sort of like when Bob Barr became Libertarian for a while.
Like I was saying, you need a superstar like Trump or Bernie to do this to have any impact.
And Bernie is an ex-Soviet Communist.

No, he’s an Vermont socialist with five mansions. But whatever he is, he’s got the pull that could actually propel a viable third party.

He should donate four of those to habitat for jumanity.
She’s also the former governor of NJ. Her state income tax cuts (10% per year for 3 years IIRC) caused property taxes to skyrocket and screwed over middle class and working class homeowners.
I’m skeptical about anything she is involved with.
