I think he is doing better than polls indicate. I'm convinced the D party is more divided than they care to acknowledge. Hopefully some come around to Yang. Who could actually win 2020

So I'm considered a conspiracy theorist by most here, but he hasn't paid to play either. The applause for yang at the last debate shows where he is at. He leapfrogged several candidates from the last round.
No way 30% of dems back Sleepy Joe. That is the establishment answer.

Once we all accept that we live in the matrix, the more sense this makes.

If this does not get you up out of your seat to vote for Yang, probably nothing else will.

Most Dems aren’t paying attention yet, so Biden is one of the only names they are familiar with. Only 1-in-3 of my colleagues at work know who Mayor Pete even is, for example, and nobody in my extended family has heard of him. None of them have any clue who Yang is. If I mentioned his name, the reply would probably be a Caddyshack quote. (“This is my friend Wang......no offense.”)

#DarkhorseLeave it to Andrew Yang to turn a political forum about issues concerning Asian American and Pacific Islander communities into something resembling a rock concert.
The businessman-turned-2020 Democratic presidential candidate shared a video of himself crowd surfing through a packed room at the AAPI Democratic Presidential Forum in Costa Mesa, California, on Sunday.
And the Yang Gang went wild.

"He trusts us with his life and we shall trust him with ours! #YangGang," one Twitter user wrote.
"Now this is what I call a Blue Wave," an Andrew Yang fan account added.

Andrew Yang is the hottest 2020 candidate this side of Elizabeth Warren right now
Andrew Yang is the hottest 2020 candidate this side of Elizabeth Warren right now
He won't be president - but would be a good guy to have a beer with - from an interview in Politico:
Yang's responses:
"Most likely to..."
Joe Biden: "Be the town lifeguard.”
Bernie Sanders: “Lead a commune.”
Elizabeth Warren: "Become a law school professor."
Kamala Harris: “Succeed.”
Pete Buttigieg: "Make someone feel monolingual.”
Andrew Yang: "Be president of the United States!"

Biden gets numbers because of the Obama legacy.
Warren gets numbers because she appeals to females/millenials/Ivory tower types.
It's a shame for the country because neither are representing the country, just niche demographics. The Dems need a national leader, not an niche leader.

It amazes me that he has such well thought out ideas that are rarely attacked for substance, but Americans rally around brand names that offer very little.

A California City Tested Universal Basic Income
The first data from an experiment in a California city where needy people get $500 a month from the government shows they spend most of it on things like food, clothing and utility bills...

Warren was looking like the front runner to me after the Biden 
But I keep hearing more about Yang. He might have more energy than Warren and capture more of the younger vote that will come from Bernie supporters.

I think Pete, Yang, Warren, and Bernie could all be put to good use. But I'm really struggling to think of a job Biden would be good at.

Now if Yang can just get rid of his gimmicky/socialistic platform. Maybe wear a tie, instead of trying to go "tech bro" on the stage.Warren was looking like the front runner to me after the Biden

Retirement? Pretty much the only reason why I'd vote for him is because he's not trump. I like others a lot more.

Walmart greeter at the Villages. Old people still appreciate a warm embrace unlike the younger generation.

He looks the part, according to many likely voters. He can shake hands, smile for pictures, convene meetings but leave the governance to others.

I think UBI has a lot of potential as a welfare replacement. It puts money directly into people's hands and allows Americans more freedoms I can see it being very benefitial to everyone. I'll post directly from his site. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/the-freedom-dividend/
This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.
Promoting vocational training in High schools seems like a no-brainer. Going away from this idea had a horrible impact on families in the first place. Teach kids better skills in school so they know what they are doing when they get into the real world. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/promoting-vocational-education/
Increase funding to vocational programs within public schools. Direct the Dept. of Education to provide materials to all public schools about career paths that don’t require a college degree. Prioritize career paths that students express interest in rather than giving blanket advice that college is the right/only option. Begin a public education campaign championing vocational jobs and education, “I Work With My Hands – And It’s Awesome.”
His campaign finance reform of "Democracy Dollars" (No one loves this name) is a good start to move politicians away from mega donors and interest groups. Give Americans use or lose dollars that can only be donated to candidates running for office. This helps to ensure the candidates are running with the people's best interests in mind. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/democracydollars/
Imagine running for office when every American has $100 Democracy Dollars to give to their favorite candidate. Just 10,000 supporters could mean $1 million for your campaign. Once elected, you could act primarily in the interest of the people you represent instead of appeasing wealthy donors and corporations. Calling rich people for money is soul-crushing. We’d all be better off if politicians only needed to worry about representing the people that elected them.
It has been used in Seattle to great effect, and we can take their program national to move towards publicly funded elections.
He has a lot on his platform. Some of the other ones I think are beneficial to the country include.

He really has a lot to look through. I don't agree with everything, but I think he is on the right track overall.

I think Yang should have a seat at the table of the next administration. I don't think he has fleshed out his ideas enough - but I think they are important, and, other than Mayor Pete, I don't see anyone else talking about the issue of automation - and it is something we will have to address as part of a long-term economic plan.

To me he is a single topic candidate, that topic is things like the guaranteed income. I like his voice in this topic and hope he keeps up talking about it.

I think he has a good take on economic concerns in general. I think he sees what's coming better than most of the other candidates, and definitely better than the current President, and isn't afraid to be creative in formulating solutions to the problems we'll have in that area. We need a more realistic approach than just saying "I'll create a bunch of jobs," which has been the standard political "solution" for quite some time.
