Ethics? Values? What_are_thooose.gif

Sorry. I, like many of you, are petty sick of the BS politics and not enough action being taken. Not enough because both sides are bought out and influenced by duty industry, pharma, and big tech. I feel for a party, it's a great place for independents who aren't tied or married to a political affiliation, and gives us a better voice or strength in numbers.

We need change, we need to move on-no, move forward with change to get it going. Calling on anyone to check out their home page (found in my link) to at least see what they're about. I've volunteered, myself, after finding them a couple weeks ago, and I feel like they've got the most potential!

Plus, a shameless plug to my new site/blog, whatever you wanna call it. If not allowed, please remove.

Thanks

"Forward leaders, members, and candidates are expected to act ethically and with integrity. That said, we are all fallible and make mistakes. At Forward, we are expected to admit them and work to rectify any harm we have caused."

Straight from https://www.forwardparty.com/#values

And, you somehow know exactly what Andrew Yang stands for, through and through? You know him that well? I mean, the only Israel thing i saw support for was in 2021, way before this war started.

If you do recall, Biden and Harris were both pro Israel, and Harris expressed support multiple times. Trump criticized her for that and was part of his campaign...

So Yang supporting Israel is no different, and people like you are just pro-1-sided instead of checking the facts or allowing critical thinking to persuade you otherwise. You know, while some hate George Washington, he warned in his farewell address of loyalty to a party vs loyalty to the country. It's counter-productive and dangerous (more or less).

Look him less than 1 year ago saying it's okay for Israel to do genocide because hamas.

The forward party is just a centrist party designed to be in the middle of our already very right wing parties.

You know, while some hate George Washington, he warned in his farewell address of loyalty to a party vs loyalty to the country. It's counter-productive and dangerous (more or less).

Is this supposed to make people want to pay attention to the forward party?

He mentions 9/11 being 22 years ago, so October 2023 was the post.

Either way, I'm sharing information that might be helpful or beneficial to others, not here to argue with someone whose mind is already made up or trolling.
