This is a personal statement, not an institutional one.
I support the Forward movement because it is making a serious attempt to move American politics away from tribal loyalty and back toward problem-solving. I don’t agree with every position, and I don’t expect to — that’s not the point.
To be clear, the Forward Party has no connection to Elephant in the Ink Room or Purpleman, has not endorsed our work, and to my knowledge is unaware of it. This endorsement runs in one direction only and carries no expectation or obligation on their part.
All we have ever suggested is simple: go take a look for yourself. In a political climate dominated by outrage and factionalism, efforts aimed at cooperation and structural reform are worth paying attention to.
