Brief description

I’m from Europe, but I’m somewhat interested in US politics. I would like to know what people think / expect from the Forward Party.

Long description

I stumbled upon Andrew Yang’s twitter account some time ago and I’ve been low-key reading about the Forward Party since then. I’ve also started to follow Jules Terpak who, afaik, is very popular —especially among young people— and is a public supporter of the party.

Being from Europe, “diverse” parliaments —those with three, five or a dozen of parties— and coalition governments feel pretty natural, but the US is, in that sense, a completely different world. Additionally, the only input I receive about the party is from a limited amount of supporters —one being the leader—, what makes my intuition essentially useless.

I am aware that the Forward Party is not running any candidate for the next presidential election, but I don’t expect any Forward candidate to become president any time soon. What I’d like to know is if you expect the party to achieve meaningful representation in Congress. By meaningful I mean that the major parties will be forced to negotiate with them in order to pass legislation.

Note

I don’t necessarily want to define a time limit for this question, but am open to do it if you give me a good reason. I will obviously do it if the Forwards become meaningful but, unless the party disappears, I don’t see a reason to close it with a NO.

I will set the end date to the 2028 election day by now and, if the market becomes popular, we can discuss a better ending date in the future.
