New ‘Moderate Party’ line in the works in scheme to aid NY Democrats

Efforts are underway to create a “Moderate Party” in New York state and elsewhere in a scheme to aid Democrats punished at the polls in last year’s midterm elections over what critics claim are left-field, soft on crime policies, The Post has learned.

One of the organizers of the campaign to establish the new party is Dan Cantor, a founder and former director of the Working Families Party that has been accused of pulling Democrats too far to the left and is currently fighting more moderate Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s agenda.

The campaign to get the Moderate Party on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election year is portrayed as an attempt to woo centrist voters disgusted by the polarization of the two major parties into backing more like-minded candidates.

“It’s cynical,” a source with knowledge of the plan told The Post. “The Democrats can’t be everything to everybody,”

Under such “fusion” voting, a nominee running as a Republican or Democrat for president, governor or legislative offices could hypothetically seek to back more centrist policies to be cross-endorsed by the Moderate Party and run on its ballot line as well.

I have seen Democrats starting to act more like Republicans on crime, spending and other things. I figured it had to do with elections and regrouping...

“Conservative” means “moderate”. “Liberal” means “extreme”.

New crime stance is to sternly admonish criminals before allowing them out with no bail or low bail, overcrowding mandated release of prisoners and intimidation of police who are harsh in the arrests.

It has to do with the shellacking in the Chicago mayors race.

"...what critics claim are left-field, soft on crime policies"

"Critics" are like "Experts." A dime a dozen.

Why hide behind "Critics"? Just come out and say the truth: "Democrats AID, ABET, and ENCOURAGE violent crime with their insane policies."

It probably has a lot to do with the flight of wealth from socialist enclaves as well.
