Reforming the Political Landscape

This chapter examines the formation of the Forward Party and critiques the limitations of the current political system, particularly the two-party structure in the United States. It discusses the impact of closed primaries and the need for electoral reform, advocating for open primaries and ranked choice voting to broaden candidate appeal. Through real-world examples and personal reflections, the chapter highlights the challenges faced by progressive candidates and the necessity for a unifying movement to address systemic issues in governance.
