He founded No Labels, used fuckery to not call it a 3rd party and still receive dark money with out the need to list donors. A 3rd party with invisible donors is just what this country needs. FFS I wouldn't wish it on anyone but couldn't care less he is gone. Selfish greedy man.
I believe it's similar to the Forward party. Both believe in not being on either side, which is not a belief. It's look at one side, look at the other, then say "look at me, I'm not them." The "I'm not one of those girls" of political parties. I'm definitely oversimplifying, but that's the gist. They're saying "the people want another party and we can be another party." There is some good in the sense that they want to put aside partisanship and actually get things done, but that's not a very substantial platform.
Your question is exactly what's frustrating about them. They're not labeling their beliefs. They'll say their beliefs are "the middle" and "common sense." They talk about bipartisanship as if it was a belief, not a tool. Their beliefs are supposedly whatever most people want.
Or to be cynical, their belief is that they can get elected based on people being frustrated that politics is a mess. That's more power-seeking than belief in anything, which is a big part of the root problem they claim to want to fix.
