Everything must have a start. He of course have supporters and media attention. All of the questions are valid, I guess. But I would not call it a missing party

  True, but what you go to as a starting point is telling. "A lot of people on Twitter like this" is a naive seeming starting point. It just seems like an extension/abstraction of Yang's candidacy. My key point is that a party is not that. There are lots of starting points, all incomplete, that he could have chosen. Multiple, politically credible people. Another option might be organisational novelty: This is how we'll recruit & nominate candidates. Certainly not discounting that this can't be straightened out later, just that it is not straight now. At this point it's not that different than a book tour. It's a set of policy ideas, an author making the rounds defending them, with supporters and detractors in the public or press. Calling that a political party should be a statement of intent. What is "the party," meaning Andrew, intending?
