He will be another bernie sander'ed
Joe Biden instantly receives 1/6 headups progress to winning primaries while everybody is starting from 0 or with single-digit superdelegates
I literally believe Yang is a shill for the Republican party
to alienate center-left Democrats into leaning toward Republicans
why else would conservative establishment media pick up on yang a lot
instead of liberal establishment
@Techpriest they pick up on him because he has good pragmatic policies and dosen't engage in identity politics shitslinging
For example Shapiro asked all the 2020 democrats to come on his show and Yang was the only one who agreed too
@Darman We won't run out of money, with the measure's he's putting forward the sum will shrink a fair bit because its opt in and replaces other benefits (aside from disability) and he's planning to add a federal VAT (at only half the level of european countries before you say that's unfeasible) to help fund it
Plus he's planning on making cuts to spending in other areas through decriminalizing opioids and pardoning non violent drug offenders to Help reduce spending on war on drugs and focus the priority towards dealers rather than users
Plus the extra tax revenue from Legalized marijuana
And when you look at the proportion of the federal budget that goes towards the military its far more than this dividend would cost and doesn't contribute nearly as much to the lives of normal americans
So when you look at it the US really does have the money just nobody wants to admit it because they either see it as some kind of socialism or they're brainwashed into thinking that the world is still a zero sum game and if someone else is winning out you must be losing out
Based trump lite
The only similarity between trump and yang is that they're political outsiders
nah
shit ton of similarities
They both try to appeal thru the middle class that have been disfranchised by both parties
The middle class isnt dominantly Republican nor is it dominantly Democrat
If Yang tried running on a Republican platform, he would get btfo by religion
than if he tried to run in the Democrat primaries
People who vote for Yang are lazy fucks
Simple
@Techpriest The way I see it they've both identified the problems right but Yang has solutions, Trump has bandaid fixes and policies which sound good but don't help
((Yang has solutions))
like what?
If you look at these top 3 policies already
Universal Basic Income
Medicare for All
Human-Centered Capitalism
What the fuck does this even mean?
The United States already provides medical care and a basic income to U.S. Veterans already
and we know how that is doing SO WELL
What makes Yang suddenly think he can expand this medical care and basic income to everybody else
Will he bring a group of the best bureaucrats who can handle it?
When you address this
```
Andrew would implement a Universal Basic Income, ‘the Freedom Dividend,’ of $1,000/month, $12,000 a year for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one’s work status or any other factor. 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.
Any change to the Freedom Dividend would require a constitutional amendment.
```
Any change would require a constitutional amendment?
So he's proposing an amendment to the Constitution to make this Freedom Dividend possible.
The arguments that Yang makes for UBI are completely retarded
