The Democrats are helping her do it.

Liz Cheney has adroitly reframed the insurrection as something that a handful of “bad” Republicans did, and a plucky band of “good” Republicans saved the day—when it’s really the rank and file, Republican Party base who attacked. You would have to be a fool to believe that all the people testifying under threat of subpoena, somehow didn’t manage to see Trump for what he was until January 6th. Give me a break. Cut the bullshit.

And right on cue, Andrew Yang is forming a third political party chocked full of pro-business, pro-gun, Trumpublicans & right leaning Libertarians, but he’s calling it a “centrist” party. It’s the “Third Way” okie doke all over again—it is nothing less than an attempt to legitimize Republicans and conservatism, and siphon off just enough votes from the Democratic Party to ensure Republicans win in 2024.

America really does need a robust multiple party system to break the two party duopoly, but not another conservative party masquerading as centrists, “undecided voters” and “independents” who are actually right wing Libertarians and Republicans.

A group of former Republican and Democratic officials are forming a new political party called Forward, in an attempt to appeal to what they call the "moderate, common-sense majority."

"Political extremism is ripping our nation apart, and the two major parties have failed to remedy the crisis," David Jolly, Christine Todd Whitman and Andrew Yang wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Wednesday. "Today's outdated parties have failed by catering to the fringes. As a result, most Americans feel they aren't represented."

Jolly is a former Republican congressman from Florida, Whitman a former Republican Governor of New Jersey and Yang is a former Democratic presidential and New York mayoral candidate. The three will merge their political organizations into the new party, whose launch was first reported by Reuters.

The group cites issues including guns, climate change and abortion as those that could benefit from a moderate approach. The new party will also advocate ranked-choice voting and open primaries, the end of gerrymandering, and nationwide protection for voting rights.

"Sixty-two percent of Americans now want a third party, a record high, because they can see that our leaders aren't getting it done," Yang told CNN's Brianna Keilar on "New Day" on Thursday in a joint appearance with Whitman. "And when you ask about the policy goals, the fact is the majority of Americans actually agree on really even divisive issues. The most divisive issues of the day like abortion or firearms -- there's actually a commonsense coalition position on these issues and just about every other issue under the sun."

Forward is planning a national convention next summer and will soon seek ballot access to run candidates in 2024, according to the Post op-ed.

The party said in a news release that it would launch "a national building tour this fall to hear from voters and begin laying the groundwork for expanded state-by-state party registration and ballot access, relying on the combined nationwide network of the three organizations." It plans to gain legal recognition "in 15 states by the end of 2022, twice that number in 2023, and in almost all U.S. states by the end of 2024."

While Forward won't be running its own candidates in this year's midterm elections, it will "support select candidates in November who stand up for our democracy, even if they come from outside the new party," according to the news release.

Jolly, Whitman and Yang acknowledged the clear lack of success third parties have had in the United States previously, writing in their op-ed, "Most third parties in U.S. history failed to take off, either because they were ideologically too narrow or the population was uninterested." But they said that "voters are calling for a new party now more than ever," citing a Gallup poll from last year.

"Americans of all stripes -- Democrats, Republicans and independents -- are invited to be a part of the process, without abandoning their existing political affiliations, by joining us to discuss building an optimistic and inclusive home for the politically homeless majority," Jolly, Whitman and Yang wrote.

Asked by Keilar on Thursday why they believe their effort to create a third party would work, Whitman said, "We're in a different time."

"When you have 50% of the American people saying that they are registered independent ... people are sick and tired of what they're seeing in Washington and the fact that nothing major is getting done is frustrating them. We have big problems and we want to see them resolved," she said.

A few independent candidates have earned national attention in their races this cycle. In Utah, Evan McMullin, who ran for president in 2016 as an anti-Trump conservative, is challenging GOP Sen. Mike Lee and has the backing of the state Democratic Party. In Missouri, John Wood, a former senior investigator for the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, is running as a "commonsense alternative" to the field of Republican and Democratic candidates for the state's open US Senate seat. And in Oregon, former state Sen. Betsy Johnson, who left the Democratic Party last year, is a top contender in the open governor's race.

Mary Anna Mancuso was the national press secretary for the Forward Party. From her August 4, 2023 account:

The Forward Party is making a dangerous miscalculation. It is betting that what a party opposes is more important that what it stands for. Motivated by a tech industry ethos that considers disruption for disruption’s sake a virtue, Forward is following a path blazed by some of startup culture’s biggest debacles — Theranos and WeWork.

...

I found an organization convinced it could maintain and grow its disparate coalition by not taking any positions at all. Its very existence was premised on the idea that, in the future, political parties will succeed by not having a philosophy of government, a shared vision or even a platform to unite behind.

...

Every all-staff meeting kicked off with an underscoring of maxims and constant reminders we were building a “viable, durable, credible” new party. Despite the steady drumbeat of this mantra, there wasn’t much internal understanding of what it meant, let alone a strategy of how we were going to accomplish it.

Musings on Artificial Intelligence #0:

Lots of very smart people have been working on artificial intelligence for many years. People like Andrew Yang and CGP Grey tried to kickstart the conversation about what we should do, and about how we could reorient society around these forthcoming technologies. Most people did not take it very seriously.

Until this year, when ChatGPT and art generators like Stable Diffusion became accessible to the masses.

So here we find ourselves, grappling with what is possibly the most socially transformational technology since the internet. In my humble opinion, generative Ai is transformational and real in a way that blockchain technology and the metaverse clearly were never going to be.

This series of posts is to serve as my humble contribution to the discussion about how we should move forward as a society. I am troubled by some of the discourse I see, and I need a place to get my thoughts out.

This has the potential to be quite a divisive series of posts. I hope every reader remembers that this is a brave new world we are encountering, and that we are all together, trying to figure out how to handle things.

I can't believe I ever liked the guy but FUCK Andrew Yang for the garbage-ass take. Having the fucking AUDACITY to blame DEMOCRATS when it's REPUBLICANS who are happy to install hacks at every level of government to gleefully RIP AWAY the same rights the Democratic Party has been the face of for DECADES now?!?! GET OUT.

His project isn't even a year and a half old and already he's exhibiting top down tendencies. Oh, and his support for the Ukrainian forces shows that he's no different from the duopoly parties. 👎🏾
