John --
It’s hard
to understate how truly crazy this year’s election was.
Do you remember when?
- The
Republican frontrunner refused to participate in any
debates
- The
incumbent president, after strongly hinting he would not run for
reelection, changed his mind, despite having underwater approval
ratings
- The
Democratic Party refused to hold a competitive
primary, even freezing a sitting Representative out of the
Party when he tried to run
- Independent and non-legacy party options gained more momentum
than we’ve seen in decades (RFK, Jr.; No Labels)
- A large
number of Republican voters voted for a primary challenger
even after she dropped out of the race
- There
were legal battles over whether the Republican candidate was eligible
for office based on post-Civil War constitutional
amendments
- The
Republican candidate faced multiple assassination
attempts that quickly faded into the background of the news
cycles
- The
Democratic presumptive nominee dropped out after a disastrous debate
performance, and his Vice President was slotted in to take his
place
After all
of this, Donald Trump ended up winning reelection, joining Grover
Cleveland as the only president to retake the White House after losing
it.
While
Democrats and many Republicans lament this series of events, the truth
is that they built the very system that has pushed our nation in this
direction. We have entrusted the two legacy parties with our country,
and they have delivered to us a country that is struggling. They have
led a government that has fundamentally failed to address the pain
that people are feeling every day, as they send their kids to school,
or go to the grocery store, or look to buy a new house or start a new
job.
We must do better, but to do better,
we must understand where the two legacy parties have failed. We’ll be
writing tomorrow to discuss those failures, and how Forward plans to
create a party that won’t make the same mistakes.
With hope for a better future,
Lindsey Williams Drath,
CEO
