Why Andrew Yang Matters
“In the culture war that currently cleaves America,
there are three sides. There are progressives who believe that racism,
nativism, and misogyny powered Donald Trump’s rise and must be defeated. There
are conservatives who believe that Trump’s election was a response to
“political correctness”—the left’s effort to demonize as bigoted anyone who
defends the traditions that made America great. And there’s a third group that
thinks it’s all a dangerous distraction, a fight over where to place the chaise
longues on the Titanic. What’s killing America, this camp argues, is bad
economics; treat that and the identity hatreds will fade. Over the past quarter
century, two presidential candidates have mobilized these economics-first,
culture-war-indifferent voters into a potent force. The first was Ross Perot.
The second is Andrew Yang.”
