Forward Party Founded by Andrew Yang Appears to Have its First Candidate for Any Public Office

According to this Independent Political Report story, the Forward Party is likely to nominate Brian Mannix for U.S. House in 2022, in New York’s Eighth District.

The hostile ballot access changes in New York state in 2020 did not impact candidates for district office. Mannix will need 3,500 signatures collected in six weeks between March and May. The 2020 change raise the statewide petition from 15,000 to 45,000, but did not alter the district petition requirements.

  1. That’s pretty good. Apparently, Yang isn’t messing around. Any party that fights and makes its easier to get on the ballot for a third party is doing good.

  2. Why would a party that just nominated its first candidate be as big as the most long term sustained successful over a broad range of measures for several decades party other than the big two?

  3. I just can’t support a party founded by a guy who shows up for a debate wearing a collared shirt with no tie.

  4. They may well be a hot mess, but that’s not a reason to think that a party which has just nominated their first candidate and has zero electoral track record is “as big.”

  5. Yang is about to Grudge Fuck the Democrats. Bottom line Yang found out quickly the Dems are now beholden to woke Commie Dems and Black Supremacists. Now Yang will go for the moderates and will be enough to ruin many Democrat leaning seats. This is pure vindictiveness by Yang and I love it.

  6. Meh. It’s far more likely to be a big flop. He has no clue at all about how hard it is to build up a third party from scratch in the US currently. It may end up being more of a lobbying group, or just go belly up altogether.

  7. Bigdaddyluvsu,

    Except that the biggest thrust of the “forward party” is pushing top # systems, which actually hurts third parties.

  8. The Ashgabat Penis Party desires to form an international coalition with the Forward Party.

    We don’t care what Mr. Yang wears. We admire his mind. We agree with his message to Make Americans Thing Harder. We say: Türkmen jyns agzalarynyň ulalmagy

    We would also like to know if Mr. Yang is a fan of Grooby girls.

  9. MATH is a global movement with international branches including Make Asians Think Harder, Make Africans Think Harder, Make Australians Think Harder, etc. However, they’re having trouble taking off in Europe, due to a less fortunate acronym.

  10. You might also say that the Democrat Party has also become increasingly beholden to globalist billionaire oligarths.

  11. Which USA gangs are splitting the most –

    commie donkeys or fascist elephants ???

    How many REAL purges are being plotted — see Hitler June 1934 / Stalin 1937 ???

    6 Jan 2021 Congress Capitol bldg riot/invasion rehearsal ???

  12. Fascist elephants? Are you nuts? There are still plenty of commie Republicans left to purge, including in both houses of Congress, governorships, legislatures, Secretaries of state, etc, etc. The ones who are not leftists are patriotic conservative nationalists, not fascists. Contrary to constant lies by the commie media and educational establishments, Fascists and Nazis are actually on the left, not on the right at all. They are only slightly less communist than actual full blown commies.

  13. Which USA gangs are splitting the most –

    STATIST donkeys or STATIST elephants ???

    NEXT ADJECTIVE ???

  14. That’s a meaningless term. Literally, it means not an anarchist. If you live in the real world and acknowledge that some level of government is necessary, you are what some people call a statist. You can also take the term to mean complete ownership of everything by the government, ie communism. It’s true that Democrats and establishment Republicans are “progressive” or gradualist commies. Patriotic conservative nationalists are not. We seek to preserve traditional local and individual liberty in the English tradition.

    The libertarian myth that all government is the same, and only its size matters, misses a crucial question of what government does. To take an extreme example, imagine a direct invasion by Red China. It would take a significant degree of government led mobilization – “statism” – to beat back the invasion and prevent real statism, that is occupation by the red-yellow peril. A nonexistent or nightwatchman state would, paradoxically, lead to a totalitarian state.

    Suppose your neighborhood is under attack by vicious, violent criminals and deadly, addictive drugs. A lack of “statist” law and order can mean lawless chaos, followed by totalitarian takeover and rule by criminal gangsters.

    What would a non-“statist” approach to religious and moral education, public obscenity, Marxist propaganda, sexual perversion, narcotics, race mixing, a flood of third world immigration, the breakdown of families and family values, etc, lead to? We are witnessing the results of several decades and two or three generations of this experiment. Do we really need even more of the same?

    What about a non-“statist” approach to keeping jobs in America? Well, you get the idea.

  15. HOW much added left/right control freak STATISM in the USA since 1789 / 1812 / 1846 / 1861 / 1917 / 1929 / 1941 / 1950 / 2001 / 2020 ???

    See esp. the tax / borrow [debt] / spend stats.
