It sticks to fairly uncontroversial things. No mention of abortion, evolution, religion, gun rights, etc. As far as I can see.

  If they manage to avoid all of the current "hot button" issues, then the discourse around some of the things that they do talk about will have to be heated up, until there is suitable angry controversy.

  You can only stick to uncontroversial things until someone asks you a question on live TV. I don't think avoiding the questions will last long.

  > It sticks to fairly uncontroversial things UBI is hardly without controversy. > abortion, evolution, religion, gun rights, etc If Yang took positions on those things it would mostly give people reasons not not support him rather than to support him, thus reducing his (and Forward Party's) overall support. Yang probably thinks the things he's pushing -- UBI, RCV, etc -- are more important in improving the lives of ordinary Americans than those highly controversial culture-war issues.
