A few months ago I wrote an introduction article here on The New American about the Forward Party (FWD), a new political party that could redefine American geopolitics and become a new force in uniting the American people, as they claimed was their goal. I was skeptical of FWD making any headway into the American people’s hearts while finding cracks in our dominant two-party system.
And it didn’t take long for FWD to fail in their mission of “modernizing elections, engaging communities historically left behind by the two parties, and injecting competition into our democracy.” The FWD Party’s endorsed candidate list for the upcoming midterms is proof of their failure and will place them on the fast track to being just another third political party disaster relegated to an honorable mention in United States history.
The three highlighted U.S. Senate candidates — incumbents Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and hopeful Evan McMullin (Utah), an Independent — are proudly displayed on the FWD website as being committed to FWD’s core principles and democracy reform efforts. But with a little simple research, you’ll find that these candidates bring nothing new to the world of politics. For FWD to make a big splash, changing American geopolitics on the national stage as “the” party we all should embrace, they need better candidates, as these endorsements couldn’t manage to bring a wake to the swamp of D.C.
