“Forward!” The New Centrist, Moderate Third Party

 

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”

Bush-Republicans Christie Todd-Whitman and David Jolly have already joined the new whatever-it-is. I wonder which Centrist policies hooked them in. Perhaps Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Mitt Romney can join in all the moderate moderation as well.

The moderate centrist Forward party has already endorsed nine candidates in the 2022 elections, one Independent, one Libertarian, and seven Democrats.

The Forward party also “cites issues including guns, climate change and abortion as those that could benefit from a moderate approach” but has not described what that “moderate approach” would look like. I think we can guess.

    They found a Libertarian that would support the items listed in the post? I guess smoking pot is the only right endowed by our creator.

    That list shows how dumb it is.

    Yeah, not really sure what “Human-centered capitalism” is but I bet it involves a lot of government intervention.

    “Human-centered capitalism” is a euphemism for “money laundering.”

    I think it’s more about forced ingestion of bug protein than anything else.

    It’s the right kind of capitalism they’ll be mandating.  Safety nets that, upon closer inspection, look more like safety cages.

    I think it was on Jesse Watters show, he showed a clip of AOC saying capitalism is going to be eliminated. 

    It would really help if we actually practiced capitalism. You would have way fewer public relations complications.

    Well, I was thinking more about the “humans” here being bagmen for the globalist oligarchs. ; )

    But as someone else mentioned, they could also be slaves.
