[TexasTowelie]

Democratic strategist James Carville tells CNN's Jim Acosta what he thinks of new political party the Forward Party, proposed by Andrew Yang and other former Democratic and Republican officials.

1. It we had ranked choice voting that would be one thing.

[Walleye]

2. Third party, dumb idea. Just vote for Democrats for chrissakes!

To Republicans: Stop all this cheating swallow your pride, you will not die it’s not poison

[liberal N proud]

3. All it does is hurt Democrats in November

[2naSalit]

9. +1

[Rebl2]

11. Yes it does

[Crazyleftie]

4. just like Nader

a big fucking ego

[William Seger]

7. I call it the Nader Fallacy

... the belief that, even though you can't win primaries within an established party, you could somehow win against both parties in the general -- because you're just that good.

[Rebl2]

16. Yep

[PJMcK]

5. Yang is making a foolish mistake

He has very little support and he'll hurt Democrats.

He's got no future if he goes through with this because he'll never get elected and he'll make himself a political pariah.

Bad move.

6. I thought Third Way was bad. Revived! Yang's party is a party about nothing.

[KPN]

8. Yeah, especially now. We're in the midst of a battle

for sanity and humanity nationally as well as globally. Now is not the time to muck things up — and this would certainly do that. Come on Yang. Use your head!

[duckworth969]

10. +1

[Rebl2]

12. Why does

Yang hate the Democratic Party so much. Because he lost in primaries while running for president? That’s how it works buddy. There are winners and losers. Starting a third party isn’t the way to help. It will only hurt democrats. I am disappointed David Jolly has joined him. He and fellow republicans should work to try to take back their party or vote for democrats.

[Quakerfriend]

13. Yes, I am totally disappointed in David Jolly.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. How many times does Yang have to be told by the voting public. . .

"Sorry, we're just not that into you"

[dalton99a]

15. Yang is a self-entitled, opportunistic asshole

[Paul Eeez]

17. Keep on Ragin,' Man!

My only quibble with Carville is that it wasn't Jill Stein that gave us Trump, it was James 'Idiote Comey.

[Marcuse]

18. This is more Bothsiderism run amuck. Vote Democratic!

[Midnight Writer]

19. How the hell did it become "Yang's Party"? It is a neo-con reunion, pure and simple.

Notice how CNN describes it as "Yang and other former Democratic and Republican officials".

Like Republicans are tagged on at the end. This is purely a Party of neo-con retreads, so why are Democrats getting top billing?

[McKim]

20. Yang Should Realize.....

Yang should realize that this Neo Third Way project will not work. We have about 40% of children in our city’s public schools on free lunch. Struggling families need a higher minimum wage. Yang is just to privileged to get it and he doesn’t know how to talk to regular folks. Why isn’t he helping Democrats get elected, instead of stroking his pet project. Get real!
