So what if he's set up a "Forward Party". It will be as inconsequential as Nina Turner's "People's Party".

Lots of people say they want a third choice. Then they don't vote for it.

Anyone who would vote for Yang would not vote Democratic, and he will have no JohnSJ Apr 2023 #1

Independent voters are more likely to vote the ticket yangs on jimfields33 Apr 2023 #3

That is BS...people know third parties are only in existant to make Democrats lose important Demsrule86 Apr 2023 #37

They better know. jimfields33 Apr 2023 #50

I agree: Yang is no threat to Joe Biden in the Democratic Primary, but he might be as a spoiler ... marble falls Apr 2023 #59

I disagree Pototan Apr 2023 #4

Doom and gloom again...you all have invent issues where really there is none. Demsrule86 Apr 2023 #38

He's definitely a selfish, sore loser who can't... brush Apr 2023 #2

Andrew Yang is not much of a threat becsuse of his support for Israel JI7 Apr 2023 #5

There are two options Sympthsical Apr 2023 #6

We don't know that RFK won't run third party after he loses in the D primary. nt pnwmom Apr 2023 #7

RFK Jr. doesn't hurt us in GE Pototan Apr 2023 #29

He has a strong pro-environment stance, which could draw some Democrats. pnwmom Apr 2023 #65

Ya, and John Wilkes Booth was a celebrated and famous actor in his time... Pototan Apr 2023 #70

All he has to do, if he runs 3rd party, is draw 1 or 2% from Biden -- that could pnwmom Apr 2023 #71

He'll pull more from Trump Pototan Apr 2023 #73

Anyone getting any votes from Biden is a threat. pnwmom Apr 2023 #74

See "Sore Loser Laws" brooklynite Apr 2023 #32

He's even less well known than Marianne Williamson. milestogo Apr 2023 #8

His name -- Robert F. Kennedy -- is known by many more people than her name. pnwmom Apr 2023 #66

I thought this post was about Andrew Yang. milestogo Apr 2023 #67

Sorry, you're right. Posters above here have been talking about RFK, who feels like more of a threat pnwmom Apr 2023 #68

Andrew Yang has all the charisma of a damp sponge blogslug Apr 2023 #11

Oh damn, I thought it was thermonuclear war... WarGamer Apr 2023 #12

If Yang gets 1%, he could cost us the election Pototan Apr 2023 #15

You said the greatest danger to humanity. WarGamer Apr 2023 #17

If you don't think a 2nd Trump term is that danger Pototan Apr 2023 #31

Bottom line... WarGamer Apr 2023 #34

Not to mention GenThePerservering Apr 2023 #36

That is nonsense...Biden will announce soon and there isn't going to be a real primary...thus Demsrule86 Apr 2023 #40

What kind of bullshit is this? Kingofalldems Apr 2023 #13

No. But we should do nothing to encoourage his ballot access Pototan Apr 2023 #18

Another day, another hyperbolic OP WarGamer Apr 2023 #21

There are several of this sort of thing...one wants to replace VP Harris which is ridiculous... Demsrule86 Apr 2023 #41

I'm seeing a lot of the anti-Harris posts, and it seems odd. BlackSkimmer Apr 2023 #63

A vote for Andrew Yang is a vote for Donald Trump......get the picture?..& Stuart G Apr 2023 #25

Nobody here is voting for Yang. Kingofalldems Apr 2023 #26

Uh oh---more bad news for Democrats!!!11!! Kingofalldems Apr 2023 #14

That only matters... Pototan Apr 2023 #24

Of course they have no idea that Hillary considered a UBI, "Alaska for America" but couldn't betsuni Apr 2023 #56

She formulated it with staffers but it was never actually released. Nobody had an idea. Autumn Apr 2023 #69

Yang's position is also to get rid of the current social programs we have JI7 Apr 2023 #76

So your niece and nephew want to get rid SNAP JI7 Apr 2023 #77

I will bring those issues to their attention. Thanks! walkingman Apr 2023 #80

Your OP is obviouisly hyperbole, because ... muriel_volestrangler Apr 2023 #58

Here's the math and my opinion Pototan Apr 2023 #60

Your model of a "I just MUST vote for someone, it doesn't really matter who" voter is strange muriel_volestrangler Apr 2023 #61

flawed analysis, as like most, you fail to take into account the RW 3rd party and indie Celerity Apr 2023 #39

There is no evidence that Gary Johnson took more votes from Trump than Clinton. StevieM Apr 2023 #51

Nobody likes hearing that. 3rd parties did not lose it for Clinton. JanMichael Apr 2023 #53

Clinton would have destroyed Trump had it not been for James Comey's repeated interference. StevieM Apr 2023 #52

There have always been third parties GenThePerservering Apr 2023 #57
