Going to be the gay guy for VP, watch.
Andrew Yang won’t win the Democrat nomination, but he does have a dedicated following of people who are excited to vote for someone who thinks about the problems he thinks about and maybe to a lesser extent advocates for the solutions he advocates. His supporters see him as a deep thinker. They won’t see any other candidate in that field as a similarly deep thinker.
It will be interesting to see how far he goes before he is disposed of by the DNC machine that is currently trying to erase Tulsi Gabbard from the field, and where his following goes after he is.
Andrew Yang is relevant to today’s Democrat party?
Who knew? He is the Democrat’s George Pataki, never a serious contender and limited name recognition.
Andrew Yang only checks one box that is even remotely differentiated, that he is of Asian descent, and that flies not at all in the Democrat party.
My son in law, wants to register in the Democratic Primaries to see this guy pull into a position to be nominated a candidate. I would sure think this would be a good ploy.
RE: His supporters see him as a deep thinker.
Yep, he’s a deep thinker alright. He says that we are doomed because of Climate Change and it’s too late for anyone to do anything about it.
Here’s his money quote:
‘We are too late. We are 10 years too late. We need to do everything we can to start moving the climate in the right direction but we also need to start moving our people to higher ground.’ — Andrew Yang
I registered as a Democrat in the last election. That way I could vote against Hillary twice, once in the primaries, and once in the finals.
When they questioned me outside of the polling station, I could say, "I'm a registered Democrat who voted for Trump."
Yang also wants to ban circumcision. So he can kiss the Jewish vote goodbye.
MSM has been trying to shut him down because he’s not anointed.
Andrew Yang is this month’s version of NOTA. The actual dem voters are looking for a candidate, and so far there isn’t one.
I am seeing more than a few Yang yard signs, and I’m in Pennsylvania!
Yang’s single selling point: “$1000 per month for EVERYONE!”
Yang’s single flaw: when _everyone_ gets $1000/mo with zero effort, that becomes the new $0.
Price of essentials will simply drift up to a baseline of $1000/mo, most apparent to the poorer among us. Rent in most areas, having little shortage of demand, will increase cost of supply accordingly - will a landlord charge a new tenant $500/mo, knowing that another is able & willing to pay $1500/mo? even though previously both had the same resources, and still do?
He might be able to sell it (aside from Trump absolutely shredding the economic stupidity of UBI). Were the vision implemented, it would crash-and-burn hard. Someone have that graph of “prices of things the gov’t subsidizes vs prices it doesn’t”? Prices of essentials would skyrocket; being essential, and the $1K/mo being free (actual or redistributed), supply-and-demand continues its rule. It would be sold as an alternative to welfare; unless the entire gov’t welfare system is shut down and the million or so bureaucrats laid off, all we’d end up with is a doubling of welfare spending (all-at-once-for-everyone UBI, plus the existing self-serving departments). On top of that is all those who either discover “hey, you can live pretty good on $1K/mo if you’re lazy”, or (yours truly) “that’s it I’m done, I’m dropping out of the system and living self-sufficiently, while the gov’t ironically gives me just enough cash to cover need for cash”, both slashing taxable productivity causing gov’t revenue to drop.
And that’s all he’s got. Free money for lazy people, and chronic economic downturn.
Would his running-mate be Ying?
Yeah. A “surge” at 3%.
u r funny
More than Biden had in ‘08, as I recall.
“Democratic Candidate Andrew Yang Predicts White People Will Shoot Up Asians”

Compared to the rest of that menagerie, he is.
That formula kept ObaMao in power for eight long years, didn't it?
“We need to do everything we can to start moving the climate in the right direction but we also need to start moving our people to higher ground.”
Oh, I agree. Since the North Atlantic has been rising .074 inches per year at a fairly constant rate for the past 150 years with no acceleration noted in the last 75 years... If this keeps up, In a hundred years people who don’t move or raise their foundations by 7.4 inches who live near the sea in North America are going to have an increased risk of having their new carpets damaged during big storms. The government must do something now to save people from this horrible plight! /s
