  4. Who determines what is ‘moderate’ vs ‘extreme’?
What do you stand for? Do you have a platform? How will Forward be different from other parties? Are you liberal or conservative? Does The Forward Party lean left or to the right? Does that mean my Forward candidate could disagree with other Forward candidates? Where do you stand as a party on (_______)? Will you not spoil elections for Democrats? What’s the difference between Moderate and Mainstream? Who determines what is ‘moderate’ vs ‘extreme’? Why should I sign a petition to allow a party on the ballot that I disagree with?

Who determines what is ‘moderate’ vs ‘extreme’?

Answer

Moderate implies somewhat of a middle position in a range of possibilities, neither far right nor far left. If FWD is to be built on common ground, we must show how that was determined.

Our platform is a data driven compilation of voter feedback obtained from reputable sources such as the Pew Research Center, Gallup polls, Associated Press (AP) polls, and regular surveys from the membership of North Carolina Forward Party. Additionally, we actively seek input from our membership with the intent of identifying and rejecting extreme positions.
