He's about to be "Sanderized."
DNC is going to determine who we vote for. Just like last time.

What's the problem: don't you believe in taxpayer subsidized direct abortions for men (I mean "transwomen")?

xcuse me, but It is overwhelmingly the Democrat party that champions race- and sex-based "Affirmative Action" policies that discriminate on the basis of race and sex regarding hiring, contracting and admissions policies. Strangely, women in the USA are outperforming men by some measures (more academic degrees, fewer incarcerated, greater life-expectancy), so why are they given an advantage? I think these policies have hurt black Americans especially as they shift the focus from the true pathologies (poor mores, broken or never-formed families, unemployment, bad primary and secondary schools, government disincentives to conceive in-wedlock, work or pay for food, etc.) and merely try to bandage the symptoms by offering lowered admission, hiring or contract-selection standards.
Black people don't need help in achieving success in most sports, the arts or entertainment and they shouldn't need it for succeeding in other aspects of life.
In the US, one problem with so-called "Liberals" is that they refuse to be race-blind. Hence so-called "Affirmative Action" programs that require decisions regarding hiring, contracting and admissions based on race (and sex).
Further, it is often wealthier white liberals subjecting poorer whites to such decisions. Asians complain that they get the shaft regarding school admissions. Women, who by several measures outperform men in the US, are given an upper hand. Why?
And instead of helping minorities, so-called "Affirmative Action" obscures the true pathologies: kids raised without a father, bad schools, less emphasis on education than say in immigrant-Asian families.
How anyone purports to reconcile this with traditional icons of blind justice or the scales of justice is jaw dropping.
Of course, some are able to buy their way into school (endowing a chair, for example), but that is rather rare. Less rare are legacy admissions which also hinder meritocracy.

Who's advocating $90 trillion for anything?
All the proposed programs together probably amount to less than 1/3 of annual defense spending.
A strong majority of Americans want Medicare for All. Details diminish support depending on how it is done but still leave it over 50 percent. Free college costs about $70-80 billion per year, a tenth of defense spending, but would generate far, far more for the economy over time. Health care for all is eminently affordable in other developed countries, often costing less than 10% of GDP, whereas in the U.S. it costs close to 20% of GDP without poor results. Paired with much wiser public health policies, this program could help the U.S. stop losing longevity at the same time as other countries are increasing it.
Green economic plans would be an enormous boon to our economy and set us ahead of our economic competitors. Solar already employs more than other energy sectors in the U.S. and efficiency improvements in renewables are quickly allowing them to match or even beat non-renewables in cost. We could easily pay for many of these programs with a few key steps, cut defense spending by 25% or more while sustaining levels far above any other country ($400-500 billion is still immensely greater than China, Russia and the rest), reinstate the estate tax at $4.5 million and up, small financial transactions tax, much higher top tax brackets with minimum taxes on all income and wealth to minimize avoidance.
Yeah, we should definitely vote on the basis of candidate hand gestures.

He looked like a puppet with someone pulling his strings lol and the creepy looks on his face haha. They are funny tho. He try's to hard and makes little sense but I can't help but like him a little. He got railroaded last election. He's wayyy to far gone to the left tho for him to get my consideration.
Personally I usually go for the most right democrat or the most left republican. I'd prefer something in the common sense middle of independent lol.

DNC attempts to block Andrew Yang from future debates with technicalities
He doesn't have much to say anyway.
1st: Biden 21:01
2nd: Kamala 17:43
last: Yang 08:38
I think there will be a time for Yang, but it's not today. He's about 20 years ahead of his time. He's talking as if we are all unemployed, when in fact, we're at full employment and companies are struggling to find qualified candidates. Automation will, at some point, put a significant percentage of our workers out of their jobs, but it's not today. UBI is a great solution for when that happens. Right now, he's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Warren and Bernie should just be kicked out of the debates. They don't live in reality. They had a democratic senator on the news and asked her if it would be possible to pass their proposals, and she said absolutely not. 0% chance. She said, even if the Dems picked up 10 seats in the Senate (not going to happen), you still wouldn't get the 60 votes needed to pass their craziness. Just look at the politics of it. No Republican will vote for Bernie and Warren's crap. And at least half the Democratic candidates don't support it either. Warren and Bernie do not represent even 25% of the population with their crazy ideas.
We need more Delaney's shouting on stage saying how absurdly unrealistic Bernie and Warren are. Anyone that supports either of them is a complete fool.
Just elect Biden and give us 4 (or 8) more years of Obama.

Even Yang admits we don't have 20 years left. It's already too late to save the planet.
This is going to be a tough truth but we are too late. We are 10 years too late. We need to do everything we can to start moving the climate in the right direction but also need to start moving our people to higher ground.

“I’ll be honest with you, I’m drawing a blank on what he accomplished,” one liberal said.
“I don’t know of a specific accomplishment of his,” another one said.
One woman straight up said “no” when asked if she could name a specific accomplishment.
Another lady was so confused by the question, she responded by bizarrely terming Joe an “honest and a decent man.”

This is going to be a tough truth but we are too late. We are 10 years too late. We need to do everything we can to start moving the climate in the right direction but also need to start moving our people to higher ground.
WORLD—Climate experts have solemnly warned that we only have twelve years left until they change the dates on global warming again.
"If we don't take action, then in 12 years we will have to explain why the world hasn't ended and come up with a new number," one UN scientist warned. "This is a very serious threat, and we urge everyone to hand control of the economy to the government immediately before we have no more time left to change the timeline again."
The scientific consensus is that roughly 10-12 years from now, the world will be flooded with new doomsday predictions. This can all be avoided if we overhaul the economy and become socialists, according to non-political, unbiased sciencey type guys.
"Should we not change our ways, our old predictions will melt, dangerously raising the chance of us having to move the goalposts again," said Al Gore. "Do you really want me to write another book, film another movie, and go on another tour in my private jet just because you dingbats couldn't be bothered to alter your lifestyles? I don't think so. Let's all get on board with this 12-year figure, or we'll have to push back the date again."
We will all be shrunk to the size of fleas in 10 years' time.

I'm not talking about climate change. I'm talking about UBI. Yang is 20 years early with UBI.
Who cares if Yang is right about UBI in 20 years, if the Planet is Doomed after only 10??
