The middle class isnt dominantly Republican nor is it dominantly Democrat

2019-06-13 16:05:36 UTC  

If Yang tried running on a Republican platform, he would get btfo by religion

2019-06-13 16:05:43 UTC  

However he would have a better chance in the primaries

2019-06-13 16:05:48 UTC  

than if he tried to run in the Democrat primaries

2019-06-13 16:11:18 UTC  

People who vote for Yang are lazy fucks

2019-06-13 16:11:27 UTC  

Simple

2019-06-13 16:16:23 UTC  

@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

2019-06-13 16:27:49 UTC  

((Yang has solutions))

2019-06-13 16:27:52 UTC  

like what?

2019-06-13 16:28:15 UTC  

If you look at these top 3 policies already

2019-06-13 16:28:28 UTC  

Universal Basic Income
Medicare for All
Human-Centered Capitalism

2019-06-13 16:28:35 UTC  

What the fuck does this even mean?

2019-06-13 16:28:48 UTC  

The United States already provides medical care and a basic income to U.S. Veterans already

2019-06-13 16:28:54 UTC  

and we know how that is doing SO WELL

2019-06-13 16:29:10 UTC  

What makes Yang suddenly think he can expand this medical care and basic income to everybody else

2019-06-13 16:29:25 UTC  

Will he bring a group of the best bureaucrats who can handle it?

2019-06-13 16:29:55 UTC  

When you address this

2019-06-13 16:30:05 UTC  

```
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.
```

2019-06-13 16:30:16 UTC  

Any change would require a constitutional amendment?

2019-06-13 16:30:29 UTC  

So he's proposing an amendment to the Constitution to make this Freedom Dividend possible.

2019-06-13 16:31:11 UTC  

The arguments that Yang makes for UBI are completely retarded

2019-06-13 16:31:20 UTC  

*Who knew people would do less bad things if they were given free money*

2019-06-13 16:31:44 UTC  

Free money would promote irresponsibility no?

2019-06-13 16:31:55 UTC  

Legal irresponsibility

2019-06-13 16:32:00 UTC  

But it's obvious you wouldn't rob a gas station

2019-06-13 16:32:03 UTC  

if you were given free money a month

2019-06-13 16:32:18 UTC  

People wouldn't turn to drug dealing if they were given money that let them live

2019-06-13 16:32:35 UTC  

But I doubt UBI will even pass at a Constitutional level

2019-06-13 16:32:50 UTC  

It's basically entitlement welfare

2019-06-13 16:32:55 UTC  

He's not going to get it signed as a law, he wants the UBI ratified in the Constitution

2019-06-13 16:32:56 UTC  

Typing

2019-06-13 16:33:31 UTC  

@Techpriest impossible

2019-06-13 16:33:56 UTC  

I couldnt imagine any new ammendments passing even the ERA

2019-06-13 16:42:51 UTC  

@Techpriest what do you mean "what the fuck does this even mean"

2019-06-13 16:43:09 UTC  

If you actually looked at his website you'd see in depth explanations of all three of those policies

2019-06-13 16:43:49 UTC  

As well as his other 120 or so policies you've entirely failed to mention

2019-06-13 16:44:19 UTC  

Also @Hyprr what do you mean by entitlement welfare?

2019-06-13 16:44:35 UTC  

UBI would work as a replacement to current welfare programs

2019-06-13 16:45:28 UTC  

@The Lemon it would still be entitlement welfare though, it just replaces pre existing entitlement welfare.
