If there was a new political party centered on young people and those who dislike the two party system, what would the agenda look like?

The US is one of the few countries without paid maternity leave en masse which I think is pretty egregious

I think we run into the issue where you have increasingly divided blame for the causes of central issues, a lot of it on gender lines. We all want a more affordable country, but some people blame billionaires, housing as investments, and a flimsy social safety net. Others have been convinced that government regulation is the problem actually and support billionaires. These are diametrically opposed ideas, so it would be difficult to appeal to all portions of young people.

I’d like to see legalized abortion AND more supports for people who are/who want to be parents, like paid maternity/paternity leave, affordable childcare, and affordable healthcare

Libertarians are pretty cool honestly. Especially if you are an actual libertarian and defend everyone’s freedom/rights even if you disagree with them. The Austrian school of economics is my fav at the moment.

True young people are not a monolith. In the blame game, you present, who do you blame and why

OP 3w

I am a very regulation-minded person, so I personally blame a mix of insufficient regulation, corporate greed, and issues surrounding the inflation of housing prices through their use as investment properties. I favor an expansion of the social safety net using taxes from businesses and the wealthy, and greater worker’s rights and regulations through pro-union legislation, higher minimum wage, more maternity leave, more vacation time, etc
