“Forward!” The New Centrist, Moderate Third Party
3rd August 2022
Andrew Yang, the failed Democratic presidential candidate (of which the country has no shortage) has launched a third political party called Forward! (and then backtracked a bit and described it as a “Political Action Committee) instead. The media are describing this new political party or PAC as a “centrist” alternative to the Democrat and Republican parties. Here are some of the centrist party’s centrist policies that are centrist.
- Universal Basic Income
- State-run (“universal”) health care
- Private financing of political campaigns replaced by government-allocated “democracy dollars”
- “Human-centered capitalism” and “alternative measures of economic growth”
Look kinda left-wing to me….
