On June 10, the Forward Party asked the California Secretary of State to tally how many people register into it. New parties in California generally get on the ballot by taking this step, and then persuading about 75,000 people to register into the party.
The Forward Party had not previously taken this step in California, because it considered itself aligned with the Common Sense Party, and the Common Sense Party was doing its own registration drive. But the Common Sense Party registration drive stalled out before it had obtained even half of the needed registrations.
Do they still have however many years as it might take to qualify, if they ever do, or did that change? Does either group seem likely to make a serious push this year or in a foreseeable year?
“it considered itself aligned with the Common Sense Party”
Huh. I knew the Forward Party were no good, but I didn’t realize they were as bad as all that.
My vague recollection they are both what purport to be “moderate” or “centrist” parties was wrong? What’s the common sense party about? Do they have any common sense? Are they the yin to fwds yang?
I do not see it happening in the future. The AIP started in Bakersfield, CA in 1967 and made it in 1968. Now it is 2024 and the AIP is well over 800 thousand register voters. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is leading the ticket in California AIP for POTUS..
Common sense party are leftists. Abortion, gay “marriage”, gay adoption, vaccine mandates, the lot.

Nuna : what are their economic views? Foreign policy, if any? Do they address federal or international issues at all?
If any human or AI here agrees with the AZ bot that Republicans are currently more like the fascists than the Democrats currently are, what justification can you provide for your (I think illogical) belief? Anyone?
It would make common sense for common sense party to merge with Forward party.
Why, if it’s true that one is leftist and one is centrist, or is that actually untrue? How would they merge? Wouldn’t forward have to name itself common sense in ca to use the existing registrations towards their count? If it was the other way around, wouldn’t they have to start from nothing regardless ?
who said that the common sense party is leftist other then anonymous internet sleuths on this website? Here is what I got from Wikipedia on their political positions. Political positions
“The Common Sense Party focuses primarily on opportunities for optimization of the political system rather than specific issues. Examples of political system reform that the party support are campaign finance reform, voting reform, and increased government transparency and accountability.
The party aims to advance policies and endorse candidates that foster inclusion and engagement in governance. It advocates for political reforms that bolster environmental safeguards, allocating resources to support individuals who encounter obstacles to success, and optimizing investments in education, healthcare, and transportation.”
Wikipedia? Something anyone can edit? You are a fucking retard.
Actually, the woke pedo site says they are leftist. Lets break it down.
“The Common Sense Party focuses primarily on opportunities for optimization of the political system rather than specific issues. Examples of political system reform that the party support are campaign finance reform, voting reform, and increased government transparency and accountability.”
Aside from the last point, those are all propaganda buzz words for perverse laws to legally, but usually somewhat gradually, evolve through various stages of an increasingly authoritarian and then later totalitarian welfare capitalist/democratic mob rule socialist/crony corporate fascist mixed or managed economy with increasingly more Orwellian (or at earlier stages Huxleyan – brave new world, etc) social order outside the directly economic sphere as well.
The campaign finance reforms such people usually advocate put governments in various ways increasingly in charge of managing political campaign contributions or later directly in control of allocating resources among political campaigns.
It takes a blithering idiot to not see the inherent conflict of interest and perverse self dealing incentives there, but the world is filled with those. It’s in the self interest of bureaucrats and politicians, including elected or appointed judges who draw government salaries, for government to expand in size, scope, reach, cost, nosiness, and complexity over time.
Even assuming zero corruption, which is laughable, it speeds up the nefarious process of government’s nefarious creeping takeover of various aspects of the economy and civil society at various rates.
You have to have a minimal understanding of how incentives work to grasp this – unfortunately, many people either lack that, or pretend to anytime it comes to anything having to do with government , political matters, or especially election laws and regulations.
The voting reforms people who use these kinds of buzz words typically advocate are almost always in the precise wrong direction for minimizing government overreach as well, although they are expert at selling poison as medicine when it comes to such electoral nostra.
Government transparency and accountability are very worthy goals, but when coupled with the rest of what is in the woke pedo common nonsense blurb, easily capable of being perverted, like anything else government does, can, or might do at any level, way, shape, or form which sounds good or even excellent on the surface. Remember, government is a progressive disease.
“The party aims to advance policies and endorse candidates that foster inclusion and engagement in governance.”
They seek to empower people who didn’t earn various things other people earned (or were freely given by other people who did) additional leverage to use government to redistribute to them, gaining more and more leverage to do more and more of it over time.
Along the way, they dumb down and distract the herd in various ways, including entertaining promises and scary stories by politicians, bureaucrats, issue advocates, various kinds of political rent seekers, infotainment peddlers of various kinds, etc, to solve all conceivable social problems, give out wonderful and endless new toys that magically fall from the sky, etc, etc, et tedious and endless cetera.
“It advocates for political reforms that bolster environmental safeguards, allocating resources to support individuals who encounter obstacles to success, and optimizing investments in education, healthcare, and transportation.”
They use environmental scaremongering and propaganda to help involuntarily redistribute wealth, make everyone poorer and less free over time as inevitably happens to whatever extent government ever does or attempts that anywhere ever.
They use the inescapable fact that everyone faces various obstacles to success, politicize which obstacles are significant to what extent, make people increasingly dependent on government to overcome obstacles, and in the process maximize obstacles to success for anyone and everyone over time, but perversely make such relative success as can still be had as government progressively screws things up more and more least unobstructed for those who least deserve it, given that they’re the most prone to laziness, deception, manipulation, thuggery, extortion, begging, etc.
Central planning of optimization of investments in education, transportation, and health care is the actual polar opposite of actual optimization thereof. Actual optimization would be to get government as uninvolved with each of those as quickly and thoroughly as possible, but that’s never what people who use these buzzwords mean, as a practical matter.
And they use their campaign finance and voting system reforms in precisely the wrong direction to facilitate making the process of “optimising” extortion, dependency, endless bureaucracy and social control easier and easier, even if it’s not immediately obvious to most people how or why this will play out.
Tl:dr it’s common nonsense and porcine and bovine excreta, as parroted uncritically by woke pedophiles.
Pig Farmer, are you the kind of pig farmer that creates the need for Environmental safeguards and transparency in the regulatory process, literally or figuratively?

Mychal, humans have domesticated porcine animals for the purpose of slaughtering them and eating their meat or exchanging it for something else of value or for a medium of exchange for thousands of years. During that time, we’ve learned how to provide environmental safeguards quite well.
The pig stupid notion that we need a gigantic, insanely inefficient, wasteful, illogical , bureaucracy laden with fat that eats anything in its path, is marbled with layers of lard, is way too big for anyone to truly grasp the scale of, will crush whatever it can, and is way dumber than any pig in order to provide environmental safeguards, or that that is the way to optimize anything, smells as bad figuratively as pig feces does literally.
This pig stupid idea is very persistent. If you’ve been around pigs, you know they’re quite persistent as well. It needs to be slaughtered, cooked, eaten, digested, excreted, and used as fertilizer, this pig stupid notion of yours. Otherwise, it’s just a complete waste.
It’s a transparently bad idea, but people, like pigs, keep falling for it, and ending up in pig pens and slaughterhouses as a result.
It’s a pig eat pig world.
@Q
“Nuna : what are their economic views? Foreign policy, if any? Do they address federal or international issues at all?”
Going by isidewith.com – which I’m not sure is a much better source than the wikipedophiles – the Commense Sense Party are populists when it comes to the economy, and interventionists when it comes to foreign policy:
https://www.isidewith.com/parties/ca-common-sense/policies/economic
https://www.isidewith.com/parties/ca-common-sense/policies/foreign-policy
They seem to want to go on pumping money into foreign proxy wars and to start a war with Iran if they develop Nukes. They also seem to want officials to heavily regulate the economy in such as way that officials make less money. …I’m starting to think they may not only be evil but actually stupid as well.
