Andrew Yang and Charlie Dent on the future of America's political parties

Andrew Yang and Charlie Dent agree that something needs to change when it comes to America's political parties and its two-party system., but have different ideas about what that change should be. They discuss those ideas in a conversation moderated by McCourtney Institute for Democracy Communications Specialist Jenna Spinelle. They also discuss democracy reforms like open primaries and ranked-choice voting.
Charlie Dent was the McCourtney Institute for Democracy’s fall 2021 visiting fellow. He spent seven terms in Congress representing Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley and served in the Pennsylvania state legislature before that. He’s currently executive director of the Aspen Institute Congressional Program, a CNN political analyst, and a 501c3 adviser for the Renew America Movement, which supports candidates who are committed to democracy and the rule of law.
Andrew Yang ran for president in 2020 and mayor of New York City earlier this year. Most recently, he founded the Forward Party, a movement that brings together people interested in solving America’s problems, debating ideas in good faith, and advocating for policies like open primaries and ranked-choice voting. Before that, he started Humanity Forward to advance policies aimed at ending poverty. His latest book is Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy.

Andrew Yang is 1000% correct. We need open primaries and rank choice voting.

Until we unite on the priorities the majority of Americans agree on there will continue to be stagnation of change. Open primaries is the logical start.
