It's probably a measure of how deeply divided politics has become that when Former Florida Republican Congressman David Jolly, former Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Joe Sestak, 2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang, and Governor Christine Todd Whitman joined forces to found the Forward Party in 2021 they had to hone the issues on which they would work down to a few very basic goals. They took some heat for that from both ends of the political spectrum but they have persisted. Largely because they all knew something was deeply wrong with the system and that some fundamental reforms around voting - like instituting ranked-choice voting - would be required to really kick-start their efforts. Reforms that the current party system, mired in the past and completely corrupted by money and power, were not going to do anything about. 

So their primary goals are the reduction of partisan polarization and implementation of electoral reforms.

But here's the thing . . . they didn't just bitch about how things were, they took action and today they are the third largest "party" in terms of numbers in the US. That alone is a testament to the power of their message with a lot of Americans who are feeling disenfranchised by the political system but determined not to allow that to come between them and their civic responsibility and their patriotic beliefs.

Interestingly enough, the net result of this has been to create a true big-tent political party where people of goodwill can join together and work for change.
