Solutions, not Rhetoric;
Forward, not Center
In his recent appearance on the ‘Weekly Show’ podcast with Jon Stewart, senator Bernie Sanders said, “What does democracy mean? . . . It means that the government is supposed to represent me. I feel good about it. I have people there who know what I'm dealing with and are passing legislation that improves my life. Do you think most people in America believe that's the case now? They don't. They shouldn't.”
The question is: how can this be changed? And what is the role of the Forward Party in that effort?
If there’s one lesson we can clearly take from the last few years, it’s that partisan rhetoric is a much better tool for fundraising than for problem-solving. The major parties maneuver against each other, tugging power back and forth while the American people are stuck in the middle. But, after a 2024 election in which voters split for Trump or Harris in surprising ways, what is “the middle” now? And is that even the right question to ask?
The antidote to partisan extremes isn’t to find the exact middle. That’s why it’s not quite right to call the Forward Party a “centrist party” (even though it’s often described that way). Instead, the Forward Party is about finding a solution that works, regardless of where it lies on the spectrum between Republican talking points and Democrat talking points. According to Stephanie Lepp (from ‘Faces of X’), it’s unlikely that the right solution to any policy problem is exactly in the center. Instead, “what's most likely is that most of us are partially right, and some of us are more right than others... which doesn't make for a great tagline, but that's what's up when you're contending with the full complexity of reality.”
The Forward Party mission is to find and support candidates who uphold the ideal of “solutions, not rhetoric.” Those politicians don’t always find success in our current political landscape, which rewards party loyalty more than it rewards solving problems for constituents. There is a desperate need for an organization that can support good candidates without demanding their strict loyalty to a set of party talking points. That’s what the Forward Party can be, with your help. “Not Left. Not Right.” (And not “Center” either.) Just “Forward.”
