Andrew Yang, the 44-year old entrepreneur who's never run for any political office in his life, currently sits at 3% -- 5th place in the sprawling Democratic field. Only Joe Biden and three high-profile senators are ahead of him.
How is this possible? Yang's campaign is all about fear -- fear of the near future where automation and artificial intelligence wreak havoc on the American economy. You might think this downer of a message would attract few votes.
But Yang delivers the message with a unique style that has won him converts. And he's been successful enough in fundraising and polling to qualify for the third and fourth Democratic debates.
Yang is a 44-year-old entrepreneur from New York and a father of two young sons who’s never run for any office of any kind before this, and whose campaign is fueled by a deeply dystopian view of the near future (trucker riots, anybody?), a pillar of a platform that can come off as a gimmick (a thousand bucks a month for every American adult!), and a zeitgeisty swirl of podcasts, GIFs, tweets and memes. Last week, as a successful governor from a major state dropped out and the bottom half of the bloated field continued to flounder, Yang passed the 200,000 mark for unique donors— outpacing an array of name-known pols. He’s gotten contributions, on average $24 a pop, from 88 percent of the ZIP codes in the country, and he’s on track, he says, to raise twice as much money this quarter as he did last quarter.

He needs to tell Obama that - he just bought beachfront property.
Well from SOME of us anyhow. Those of us that work and pay taxes, that is.
Liberals want to scare you away from the ocean so that they can snap-up all the prime beachfront property.
Isn’t it obvious?
“Yang failed to warn Obama who just bought a $15mm beachfront property. Obama not worried about rising ocean levels.”
Ding, ding! We have a winner!
To the people who chose their college major based off of of avoiding any hard science or math classes, but they follow Elon Musk and Neil Degrasse Tyson on Twitter, believe watching Big Bang Theory is nerd humor and repost stuff they see on the "I F'ing love science" on Facebook, absolutely he is a deep thinker. Also, he's Asian, so in their mindset, he has to be smart on that fact alone.
Go, Yang!
Just go!

Andrew Yang is the true anti-Trump. Never held political office, has radical ideas which he believes will save the country. Difference is, Trump’s ideas turned into promises which were kept. Yang cannot turn his ideas into promises because it would bankrupt the country and result in a civil war. A war for which his ideology will never win.
