"Then we high fived" is the new "and then everyone clapped"

The size of the country has nothing to do with how many parties we should have. One political party would be fine or a dozen. It comes down to whether you have a dictatorship of the bourgeois or a dictatorship of the proletariat, but I'm speaking to the choir here.

I've said it before, but Yang strikes me as an op as much as a grift. His campaign was targeting teenage kids too young to vote with silly stuff like Yamg Bucks while saying M4A is bad actually. Seems like it was set up to lure younger people away from the Sanders campaign and socialism more generally. And I'd be suprised if Forward isn't more of the same

    It's 100% an op.

    the Forward Party merged with—and thus took a great deal of money and personnel from—the Serve America Movement, which is majority funded by former vice chairman of Philip Morris Charles W. Wall. If anyone thinks a tobacco executive with a history of lying to the public about the health effects of cigarettes

    From an Adam Johnson article about it, which also points out that Yang is super unwilling to name the donors to the party

      Charles W. Wall

      Let's hope he lives up to his name eventually

      I figured there was some major backer like that. So glad to hear someone else call it an op. Mostly i hear from people that he's either well meaning, which is complete bullshit, or just a grifter, which i think his primary role and interest for involvement.
