Andrew Yang 2020?

by **steveschneider** 2019-02-19, 17:44

Who the fuck is this guy? Everything I've heard him say I'm like yep, that's right on. Never even heard him before but as of this week he's my early choice for next POTUS.

FTR I think he has 0% chance, but one can dream!

I'm in, steve. I really like what I've heard from/about him so far.

I think I posted a video in some other thread about him not too long ago.

I love his calm demeanor. He's smart as fuck and he's genuine. I think he's got a good clear vision to deal with current and future issues.

I'm still not ruling out our media getting fixated on some bozo celeb like Donald Trump and giving them billions worth of free air time that can make them the next president. Look at this Howard Schultz guy. Zero experience, no plan and no one even knew who the fuck he was until the media gave him two weeks of rock solid coverage and now he's a house hold name.

Remember when the Media used to cut away from Hillary rallies just to show an empty podium and a crowd waiting at a Trump rally? It can easily happen again.

Had to google it. So he dumped the Sonics and now he wants to run for president? I bet he'd lose his home state for being a jackass.

I'll vote for him only if he announces Ying for VP.

Watched a video of Andrew Yang speaking with A truck driver that voted for Trump and he went for a drive with the truck driver. This guy is impressive. He’s not attacking Trump he’s offering to fix the problems that lead to Donald Trump. If he can get 30-40k Iowans to caucas for him he’s got a shot. He’s from New Hampshire so he will only do better there and then next stop is California where all the Asians live. It will be interesting to see if this unique candidate will gain any momentum. Imo he has 0% chance but at the very least I hope his ideas get some important discussions going.

Whoa he went for a drive in the truck and everything? I can see why you’re so enamored

It’s more than just one. I saw a video where does a live stream chat with truck drivers.

No way. Does he get in all of their trucks?

Nope. He’s just talking and listening.

Whoa. Well as long as he keeps talking to truck drivers who likely have very little in common with the people that make up a collegiate message board he’s got my vote!

Glad to know you are on board. Now head to his website and learn more and make a donation if you can.

Yang was dynamite on Joe Rogan's podcast. I like the guy a lot. Explains his ideas really well

Agreed. I hope he gets some traction, I'd love to see him in some debates.

He was on a Podcast... I think. Is he the "Patriot Dividend" guy?

Sounds like he will be on the first one. He said the DNC is going to divide the field up into two separate nights, and they are going to randomly draw who will be on each night. They are trying to do away with any appearance of favoritism and trying to give everyone equal time. Sounds like Yang will have his moment.

That's him. One thing that's good about him he's pretty adept at using non traditional media to get his message and he's going right on Fox News to get his message out. If you go to youtube you see him on all sorts of podcasts and youtube channels giving interviews. Smart way to get your name out there.

by **Cameron** 2019-02-25, 16:05

I think he calls it the "Freedom Dividend."

Apparently that tests better than universal basic income.

Why is that? Did the guy have terrible gas?

Watched this interview and I'm a little impressed. Even TC behaved.

Heard him on a Freakonomics podcast and on a Think Liberty podcast.

He is bright, articulate, explains the why in his positions and uses some stark statistics on what happens to people who get bounced out of retail, trucking, warehouse and low skill factory jobs when they are replaced in jobs that are phased out with technology. (Alcohol, drugs and many never get back into the workforce)

I didn't see it, but judging by all the comments I see on Twitter, Yang apparently held a very good town hall on CNN tonight. Going to have to find it YouTube tomorrow to check it out.

EDIT: Finally getting around to watching this and he's pretty good.

He’s certainly the most entertaining and engaging candidate to listen too. I saw Chuck todd interview him the other day and O thought Chuck was a big time ass in the interview.
