I think it's more insidious than just technocracy. There's definitely a strong undercurrent of aristocracy to it, like the person chosen by the ~meritocracy~ with the right ideas os clearly the best choice based and the challenger is an upstart prole, or is at least a tool of the upstart proles.

I like this part of the article.

" Lanae Erickson Hatalsky, vice president for social policy and politics at Third Way, said a poll conducted by the group found voters — including many Democrats — responded more positively to a message that emphasized creating economic opportunity over income inequality. The opportunity message, she said, “trounced the other Democratic approaches on the table with the voters we need to win in a general election.”"

Reminded me of that article about their "listening tour" in the Atlantic.

From W era neo-cons like Condi Rice to sex pests like Bill Gates Ozy brings the cream of the crop for loathsome beltway insiders

quote:

Today, OZY is no longer just an idea. It’s proof that with the right team, the right design and the right mission, news can be edgy and educational, informative and inspiring — all at the same time.

Want some references? Just ask our contributors, like Bill Gates, Condoleezza Rice and Bill Clinton, who see us as a signpost to the future. Ask our friends at Nearpod, who are taking OZY into the classroom and using our stories to empower students to think bigger. And ask our audience — a relentlessly curious global community — who tell us often how OZY is showing that more is possible. And, for the winners of the OZY Genius Awards, inspiring them to make more possible.

That’s what drives us at OZY: the idea that more is possible. And we’re not afraid to challenge assumptions about the way the world is in order to see the world the way it could be. That conviction is right in our name. Yup, it’s from the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem “Ozymandias.” And yup, most folks read that poem as a caution against big egos and the impermanence of power.

We read it differently. To us, the poem says think big, but be humble , lest you end up “two vast and trunkless legs…in the desert.”

We know that’s an unconventional interpretation. And that’s who we are. Because in a world littered with conformity, we like to see things differently. We hope, through OZY, you will too.

I love how implying that giving people stability through programs for things like housing and health care isn't an economic opportunity.

Poll data from 2016 would suggest Third Way’s approach has some merit: A Gallup poll from October 2016 found that voters thought Trump was actually less less [sic] conservative than prior GOP nominees. Clinton, meanwhile, was seen as as liberal as former President Barack Obama.

Here is the poll they are referring toward: https://news.gallup.com/poll/196064/trump-seen-less-conservative-prior-gop-candidates.aspx

Of course, the same poll shows that Obama was seen as much more liberal than his predecessors at the time of the 2008 election, but that wasn't worth mentioning to them.
