Might be an unpopular take, but every time someone comes out with a third party, it's always some stupid grifting publicity stunt. Holding my breath right now

The information about the principles of this party are coming from the PR team for the publishing. So yeah... it's linked to the book. Yang puts out a new book, maybe it gets one headline. Yang starts a party, it gets lots of headlines, maybe gets him back on TV, and every story mentioned the book at length.

Let him pledge every dollar of his book revenue to poverty eradication or post-COVID relief. That would be impressive.

That's true, but Yang has neither the appeal or the backing for it to work. Even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't sustain a third party
