    My plan is to vote in candidates at all levels that are endorsed by The Forward Party.

    We need to overhaul our voting system so that we’re not trapped in this downward spiral of a 2 party system that we’re currently in. Ranked Choice voting, Star voting, Approval voting… they all have pros and cons but any one of them is better than the current system that we have.

    The way we get better options for Presidential candidates is to have a voting system that gives other parties a chance.

    I don’t care if I have to vote for a particular Republican, Democrat, or some third party individual for this to be accomplished. Following the trend of “vote out all Republicans/Democrats” is how we got here in the first place.

      Can I persuade you to choose party for socialism and liberation over fwd where there is one?

      Psl is a far left party whose vision of democracy is radically far reaching, extending into even the workplace. Unless you simply favor the self described centrist policies of fwd, psl might be more your speed where there is a candidate.

        I think you’re misunderstanding what the Forward Party is. You can be a part of any side of the political spectrum and still fall in line with the Forward Party.

        The only thing that the Forward Party cares about is overhauling the voting system with something better: RCV, Star, Approval, etc.

        They don’t take a stance on much of anything else.

        And in terms of priority, any candidate endorsed by the Forward Party has my initial vote. If multiple candidates in the same race are backed by the forward party, then I will start digging in deeper to figure out which one I want to vote for.
