Challenge the Status Quo: Rethink the System

Cultural programming influences the perception of third parties as detrimental, rooted in the fear of disrupting the established two-party system. However, the emergence of alternative parties, like the forward party, could alleviate many objections by focusing away from presidential races. The critical issue extends beyond merely introducing a third party; it encompasses the need for systemic change within the electoral framework that naturally favors two dominant parties. This includes recognizing that the current first-past-the-post voting system contributes significantly to this limitation. Furthermore, public discontent with legislative representation is evident, as reflected in low approval ratings for U.S. Congress, highlighting a pressing need for reform beyond party lines.
