As the year closes, I want to be clear about one thing — this is a personal statement, not an institutional one.
I support the Forward movement because it is one of the few efforts trying to pull American politics out of the tribal trench warfare it has been stuck in for far too long. I don’t agree with every position, and I don’t expect to. That’s not the point. The point is the attempt to rebuild civic seriousness, decency, and problem-solving without requiring blind loyalty to either team.
To be equally clear: The Forward Party has no idea who Elephants in the Ink Room or Purpleman are, has never endorsed our work, and — to my knowledge — has never even seen it. This endorsement flows one direction only. It places no obligation, expectation, or implied alignment on them.
Everything we have ever said amounts to the same thing: go take a look for yourself. If you find something useful there, good. If not, that’s fine too.
In a political environment dominated by grievance, purity tests, and performance outrage, I believe efforts aimed at cooperation and structural reform deserve attention — even if they don’t yet have all the answers.
That’s the entirety of the endorsement. Nothing more, nothing less.
