Yeah I like some of these ideas but Yang has all the hallmarks of a grifter. He strikes me as another Krysten Sinema - put on a good show and then fleece the rubes.

You realize you're just parroting all of my points, correct?
Besides this district currently is safe for the representative, so having more people beside me making them aware of it combined with an actual spoiler candidate could make them adopt the ideas.

So support someone who does focus on a different level of grain

I did. They're not interested in it at all.

How are you supposed to get that in place if you're not elected?
Besides, we don't need him. I never see people taking the good ideas he has and repurposing them. He shouldn't be the only one running on ideas like this, and that's the main problem.

The mental somersaults that Yang guys do are impressive

About the only good thing she did was removing the HOV lanes from the interstates.

I understand that so get rank choice in place before playing around

You can't split the vote if things like ranked choice voting and mixed member districts exist. Don't you see how what you're worried about is the real problem? Yang is a flawed candidate without a doubt, but those things are actual good ideas that more should consider.

When one considers her history, I don't know that I'd look to her to create a new party. She's not exactly a model of excellence.

Im saying because they stretch things out so far to make it appear paranormal. I stopped watching when they said a CD reflection was a ghost but it was really a reflection of a poster in the background

I say fuck him for trying to split progressive votes. The NYC mayor thing was also stupid

LOL, and forgive her for taking $5B from the pension funds to balance the state budget. Let us not forget.

I like a lot of what Andrew Yang is proposing. We as citizens need to consider options like ranked choice voting and possibly things like a mixed member district to help reform our incredibly flawed political system.
Even if you don't like the man, consider the ideas and try to propose them to our current representatives. We shouldn't live in a democracy where bribery is legalized in the form of donations, lobbyists have more influence than average citizens, and politicians pass bills and laws to help corporations, not your neighbors. It doesn't have to be two choices, and our current system can be reformed from the bottom up.

The person who illegally bulldozed the Camden riverfront in an attempt to impress the Republican convention in Philly? Fuck her too.

Since it comes up often I thought I'd share this article to clarify for folks who may not be aware: the Forward Party is not going to run a presidential candidate in 2024.
Party co-chair and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman:
>"We're not going to be running a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections, we as a board decided that it's just not feasible...we're focused on the ground up. This is a people's movement, a movement that is creating a party."

I’m with you this is historical revisionism on her part, presenting herself as a ‘more rational’ Republican. She did the most damage to NJ finances of any governor in the past thirty years with her bond shenanigans.
