I would be interested in voting for something like the Forward Party, but alas, a lot of Andrew Yang's political and economic views are completely whacked like so many other Democratic Party policies. That just won't reel me in.

And you consider the Republican Party to have less "whacked"? Let me see....

Wars for nothing that cost $ 6+ trillion (at least) - It was both parties admittedly and clearly a failure of leadership. Still prior to Trump the GOP was totally on board with wars.

Pushing for an unrestrained an unaccountable Wall Street? That did not end very well especially when one considers that no less than Alan Greenspan warned against the creation of too big to fail financial institutions in a letter to Congress back in the summer of 1999 (go to the Congressional Record on 7/1/1999 and search on Greenspan and the Financial Services Modernization Act).

Essentially promoting every zany theory and absolute nonsense whether is it ignoring Climate Change or conspiracy theories around vaccinations. All of that is just misdirection and theater designed to keep the peasants fighting among themselves. The DEMS do the same thing with CRT. Distract from reality: the status quo is broken and dysfunctional.

Leadership from both parties has failed during the past 30+ years and the trick will be to both cover that up and maintain the existing centers of power for an long as possible. It is all about the Benjamins and keeping the money machine in high gear.

No, I'll listen to Andrew more and consider that this Nation needs a reset and a departure from the failed games of yesteryear.
