Yang is underestimating the network effect of the two parties.

I thought running for mayor of NY City was kind of odd. His lack of experience really showed after his initial name ID advantage faded away.

I feel like he is fighting for relevancy but it's approaching it from a wrong angle.

I do understand he is feeling betrayed a bit by the party. He was probably promised (or hinted at) some kind of a position with the Biden admin.

Then he had that disastrous loss as a mayor. I'm not sure starting a third party is really a right move for him.

He is interesting (was authentic) as a candidate, but quite honesty doesn't have a real national name ID or charisma to pull together a successful third party.

At this point, the only person who can reasonably start a third party is probably Donald Trump (not saying he is going to). My point is you need a huge national popular backing.

Yang doesn't have that. If anything he is going to destroy the possibility of having a real competitive third party in our country.

So, yeah another misstep (IMHO) by Yang.
