@steverichardson8832 Год назад

I'm a member of the Forward Party and am always energized by watching Andrew in action. This time, I was quite pleased to hear him advocate a common sense solution to the Electoral College problem - proportional allocation of elector votes. Only two states do this (Maine and Nebraska), while others stick to a winner-take-all policy and then wonder why we have a disconnect between the popular vote and EC results.

@OSTARAEB4 11 месяцев назад

An American Third Party creation discussed for at least two decades will solve nothing but create another corrupt entity to be bought. All these altruistic intentions won’t solve any problems because both parties address careerism and corruption to protect their resume and net worth. They have discarded the so-called middle-class because they treat them with disdain with this new term “elitism” being the desired one-percenters and much of the party base has shifted especially the past twenty years. Both parties don’t work and what exactly does a third creation think they’re going to solve except more dysfunction and division. The country is divided and broken because that’s what the rulers and external global orgs fund to control and destroy the American and global population. Doing away with the Electoral College sounds great until the party advocating this loses a general or local election and then the result will be riots as usual.

I’m happy NBC decided to hold this interview but I wish Savannah approached it with a more genuine curiosity for the ideas that were discussed. Her contempt for the situation was a dark cloud looming over the conversation. It was strange to me that she seemed to integrate herself into the mainstream media as opposed to an employee that works within the limitations of a company. The questions she kept veering back to were the very 1 dimensional talking points that keep us stuck on shallow, caricature politics. I hope NBC will shift into engaging with new policy ideas moving forward. Still, I’m glad there was decent coverage of this. These are concepts I want to see more discussions of. Forward Party is new to me. I’m curious to see how they develop. These topics Yang addressed should be center focus.

"Good policy has nothing to do with politics". That is what is wrong in a nutshell. Congressmen are keeping their jobs by not solving problems. I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Andrew Yang. I hope he can make progress with third parties in states where one party runs unopposed and at least give voters a choice. With that said, the ranking system is used in other countries and their governments have similar problems to ours.

As we celebrate the creation of our country today, I hope you will also ask yourself “are we at our best? Is our country more unified than ever? Is our democracy the shining star for the world? Do we, the people have the power to make our government better meaning more accountable to us, solving problems most of us recognize?” The data says most of us feel that the answer is no to these questions and the video below does an incredible job of explaining why I helped get the Forward Party off the ground. It’s not what you think regarding the Presidency, I guarantee you. Watch and you will understand. Because we actually do have the power to make our system better, more democratic, more accountable, and more functional. Happy 4th!

Libertarians don't even count unfortunately, they're just there to take votes. I don't personally (in most recent years) want to be placed or associated with either corrupt party anymore, but then that leaves those of us who feel that way and still have a lot of passion for politics, our rights and the future of the country sort of lost. It's just such a broken broken system in the US and one that feels so out of the control of the citizens anymore. Love Andrew! Smart, honest and gets to the actual point.

I am not interested in the two party oligarchy that makes up the democrats and the republicans. I live in Tennessee and feel my vote doesn’t count anyway because the state is Republican. Although most people I talk to are voting out of fear that the other guy will be elected, or they just don’t vote because they feel it’s useless in this state. It is imperative that we get rid of the electoral college and institute Rank Choice voting. It’s time to focus on what really matters, like jobs that pay a living wage, a healthcare system that works for everyone, a re-hail of our education system, affordable housing and rents to name a few. No more smokescreen issues that divide us.
