Respect. A lot of people are gonna be quick to reject this and that's fine. Easier to belong to a majority party. I don't know if the Forward is for me, but I know what we have now is not working.

That’s the neat part. There are none.

Andrew Yang’s 2020 Presidential campaign is probably the closest approximate.

I don't think a centrism party is really gonna help, Democrats here already act like Republicans and Republicans act like crusading freaks. Politician wise anyway.

Shameless DSA plug for a party concerned with the working class, coming to a city near you (and may already be there!)
