Yeah… in short he was in the primaries, actually had a pretty strong following, mainly because he proposed UBI. Then after losing he started a “forward” party… which as far as I can see was meant to be kind of a centrist party, but effectively didn’t have any stances besides work towards ranked choice voting.
The idea of such a party always amuses me, since it’s always stated that there is some gigantic “center” in this country. Which of course is halfway between the utterly unhinged far right extremists in the qon movement and Republican Party, as contrasted with the right-of-center Democratic Party?
Not only is it never really stated what the positions of this so-called party would actually be, nor who they’d really be popular with, but do we need THREE right-leaning parties?
Why are we meeting him again? Didn’t he run for president in 2020?

WTAF.
His entire UBI scheme was based on a techno feudal dystopia, trying to attach himself to Elon’s teat is right on brand.
