“Who is Andrew Yang? A sane candidate?”
He’s a Dem candidate for president. That should tell you everything you need to know about both him and his sanity.
He has adopted pillars from Trump’s platform regarding the need to focus on the loss of our blue collar and manufacturing jobs. He wants to break up Big Tech. He has built a sizable and fundraising savvy online following that includes self-identified libertarians and moderates in its ranks.
Otherwise he is a raging socialist and totally off the mark! But alas the prior issues alone make him too sane for the Democrats and he’s Asian and Dems are racist.
Andrew Yang supports universal basic income, actually supported by many Libertarians (which I am not) as it would eliminate the infrastructure needed to distribute gov’t benefits such as food stamps, AFDC, HUD housing and a plethora of other gov’t agencies, along with eliminating the mammoth number of gov’t employees that run all of these gov’t agencies and would just send a direct check of $1,200 a month to poor people to use the checks as they see fit.
Certain Socialists in the Dem party are opposed to this.
