Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's dysfunctional two-party system.
The new party, called Forward and whose creation was first reported by Reuters, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. They hope the party will become a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties that dominate U.S. politics, founding members told Reuters.
Party leaders will hold a series of events in two dozen cities this autumn to roll out its platform and attract support. They will host an official launch in Houston on Sept. 24 and the party's first national convention in a major U.S. city next summer.
The new party is being formed by a merger of three political groups that have emerged in recent years as a reaction to America's increasingly polarized and gridlocked political system. The leaders cited a Gallup poll last year showing a record two-thirds of Americans believe a third party is needed.

They really are idiots! I give them about 2 months before their party is abandoned.
(Meme Hell and the trashcan of history awaits them!)
Start slapping this on the bumpers of anything with a Forward sticker on it to help them remember.
They’re hoping this has the thunderous impact the Coffee Party did. Politics By Focus Group always turns out sounding like it was put together by a bunch of third graders.
Great...liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats.
“Forward”, a long established slogan and magazine for socialists.
P
Putz Party.
>Pretty much exactly that. This new party will come out pro Choice, Whitman will sign on, and that will be the end. It will suck Democrat votes away.
Just like No Labels. If the GOP wasn’t so f***ing stupid, they’d donate millions to help strengthen the Democratic Socialists and field wacky tranny and tankie candidates in general elections. The GOP could win some unexpected wins that way, but again, they’re the party of stupid.
“Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman?! LOL.”
Good night... Talk about a reprobate leftist echo chamber!
Uh .... No.
Let's repeat that with feeling .....
Uhhhhh ...... NOOOO!!!!!
As in Nope ..... Nah ..... Nada ...... Nyet ..... Nilch
Tell me this isn't the Bee.
They did this in the UK with Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williazms and a few other moderate Labor Party members who teamed with some left Conservatives. After much hoo-hah, it went nowhere.
If it sucks the Rinos out of the Republican party and the liberals out of the Democrat party it might even win some seats. Not a bad thing. Probably closer to the Democrat party of 75 years ago.
Dozens of unmentioned yucks.
You’re all winners!
...... Never underestimate the Strength, Power and Cunning of your Enemy.

“The party ... has no specific policies yet.”
yeah, the minute they attempt specific policies the nascent 3rd party will implode, so no one needs to worry about any future impact, since there won’t BE a future for the party ...
btw, i guess they had to drop “Lean” from their new party name to avoid lawsuits from MSNBC ...
Where were they in the Dem presidential primaries?
“Adelante” - the spanish word for “Forward”, used by Fidel Castro.
“Hard to win followers with no policies.”
No kidding! I laughed when I read that the party was “centrist,” but had no policies. How can they know just what the hell kind of party it is without even having policies or a platform?
This isn’t just half-baked; it’s completely baked.
