LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -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.
Maybe and maybe not, this new party will catch the wave of popularity and will be able to offer a viable candidate and platform for 2024
Regardless of what any here might think of any of the announced names, they are well known names and will very possibly gain momentum over the next two years.

I fail to see how they will get anywhere with the elections being rigged and the insane amount of donations theleftDemocrats andrightRepublicans get. Honestly just seems like more political theater to me. I would like to read more just for laughs
And the two parties we have now donât serve evil ?

Ross Perot made sense a long time ago. Andrew does not. Quite a few of his positions (in my opinion) will only serve to empower terribly evil people due to his childlike hippy logic.

I really don't see this taking off for the simple fact that Yang just isn't big enough. I know he has fans, but I just don't think he has enough.
I've said it before, what it would take to really shake up the two-party system is a well-established cult of personality figure to break off and run as a 3rd party, like Trump or Bernie Sanders.
It would be especially effective if one from each side did it in the same election, because then voters wouldn't have to be as worried about their 3rd party vote helping the "other" side win.
