  1. Aaaaand welcome to the main reason our country sucks. Electable should be a majority electing the most qualified candidates, and yet you Democrats, who are supposed to save this country from Trump (hint: you won't) are acting as if being two of the most reasonable, most qualified candidates in the field should already be written off because of (insert whatever completely moronic reason such as race, sexual orientation, gender, or otherwise completely foolish as fuck reasons you can generate) and are already closing the door. Why the fuck should we expect any real change when the absolute to cause of the problem has still not even been addressed in either party: you elect the best, not the alternatives. We haven't learned anything, at all, from Trump. If there was ever a chance to elect the brightest and best candidate without worry about a completely crooked, crippled, and inept administration and their loyal 30%, that time is now. But you are all already shrinking away from the best chance to reclaim excellence by thinking "anything but Trump" is the solution. Don't you fucking get it? ANYTHING BUT HILLARY ELECTED TRUMP. Now we have morons gambling the likely future of this country on the prospect of ANYTHING BUT TRUMP. And we'll likely end up with the liberal Trump. Morons
  2. I mean, honestly, how the fuck would that be the most unelectable combination? Our current combination is Trump, Pence. How in the everylovingfuck is that bullshit more electable than a functioning, competent businessman with an economics degree from Brown (who has actual built-from-the-ground-up businesses and a legit foundation to further startups) and a Harvard, Rhodes scholar mayor with excellent business experience, as well as military history? Both of which are most likely documented geniuses with a deep, profound understanding of strategic, sound policy ideals?
  3. I would like to see a Yang, Buttigeig combination. That seems like it would be a good, functional, working team of the smartest guys in the room.

  5. Fuck yeah. Like I said, he's the only candidate of my lifetime that has ever checked my boxes. The only one I've ever donated to, and ever been excited about
  6. Well, let's consider the numbers? I mean, 30% of the voters, could that be about 6% of total population?
  7. From Andrew Yang I had a meeting last week with a social psychology professor named Jonathan Haidt. He wrote a book called The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. He also worked on a report called Hidden Tribes that came out recently. It turns out that the proportion of politically disengaged Americans is 26%—one of the largest groups in America. We will of course compete for every vote. Many traditional Democratic constituents are excited about this campaign. The Freedom Dividend has the power to improve the situations of millions of Americans. But this campaign has the potential to change the game by activating groups that have not been traditionally politically active. This group is called the Exhausted Majority. The Exhausted Majority feels ill-served by the political system as it currently functions. The Exhausted Majority is many of us. We have the potential to realign our entire political system by offering solutions for the true problems of this age. As one small sign, here is a videoof my appearance on Tucker Carlson last Friday. I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but it went tremendously well. I will go anywhere someone wants to have a real conversation. The huge lesson from the Hidden Tribes report is that our political media does not reflect the points-of-view of most of the American people. Most Americans are very reasonable. We agree on most of the big things. Unfortunately, one of the things we agree on today is that our government has grown unresponsive. It needs to be pushed into the 21st century.
  8. Fuck
  9. Fuck yes that's amazing! Is that your picture?
  10. Here's his most recent email. February was the best month ever for our campaign—we received donations from 34,025 different people for a total of $570,954.82! The average donation was $16.78. That’s incredible. THANK YOU for making it happen. We raised as much as many other major candidates for the month. Aside from the raw numbers, which are staggering, here’s another reason I am excited. I received this message hundreds of times via social media: “You are the first political candidate I have ever donated to.” This message is important. It’s become a constant drumbeat. And it means that we are poised to do great things. (He's the first I ever donated to as well) I would post the rest of the email but I can't spoiler
  11. There's a shitload on YouTube. Just Google his name. Here's a good one... It's from last year though. His newer stuff is out there too
  12. McDonald's might. That might be our best chance
  13. I'm not angry that you showed me that. I'm not angry at all about Bernie. I might be a little angry that I've finally found a candidate that I love and he's probably not going anywhere. And to the video, I stand corrected.
  14. That's a fucking funny shop
  15. But that underhook, tho
  16. I mean, yeah... But you do realize that Trump is basically the biggest offender, ever
  17. Maybe, but I bet all that shit is over when the next recession comes. Donald Trump is only accelerating that process. I know that if I owned a business, especially one that is publicly traded, fiduciary responsibility would make me cut! those jobs with a quickness. Yang also supports changing our economic indicators away from GDP so we can get a better look into what the numbers really mean. I mean, seriously, he's checking all my boxes, but I feel like I'm alone in recognizing it
  18. @Hugo StiglitzStiglitzStiglitzSSti Maybe I just found you some true love
  19. Just look at the automation wave. It's coming faster than you think. The uber rich will be calling for it so they don't get killed by the rest of America, and so they'll have some customers again. The only way the super rich get behind it is so they can use it as corporate welfare. They also sure as shit don't want to pay a VAT... They're rather good at never making a "profit" They're probably only going to call for it after they get another tax break and pass it on to the middle class, their own class warfare
  20. I've watched several interviews with that old fuck and he never brings that up. Someone else must've written that shit for him. I honestly believe Yang would politely destroy Bernie in a debate
  21. If you want to be truthful about it, he doesn't have any unique ideas. UBI had been around in some form or another for a long time. I'm saying that no one is talking about the benefits of Medicare for all on the economy. They're all just saying it's a right. He's providing a huge amount of information on why Medicare for all isn't just another huge expenditure when it would actually be a great benefit to the economy in several ways.
  22. This may be a dumbass question, but why are felons excluded from jury duty? I get the argument that they have committed crimes etc... But they allow biased people on juries all the time (who aren't felons)
  23. I mean, absent Trump, the corruption issue would be about what, half of what it is today? Hell, if McConnell could just die soon, we'd be down to about 20%, right?
  24. I can't see why people don't take it seriously. I get it, not a lot of people know who he even is at this point, but he's a leader, and he's fucking scary smart. I have no real hope that his message even gets out, but shit, he's the only candidate that is seeing the problems and has a solid solution to any of them.
  25. I understand that no one is on board with Andrew Yang just yet. But I'm all seriousness, single payer, Medicare for all would take a shitload of pain off of business in this country, and free up that money so that hiring wouldn't be so expensive... Small business would grow, and on top of that, the economy would benefit from getting away from 'gig' and contracting jobs. Yang has proposed this as a way to actually stimulate the economy. He checks all the boxes for me. But I don't get how more people aren't getting behind his policy ideas.
