Polling where dumbass? He didn't meet the stipulation to be up there tonight, they did. Pretty simple.

[@yummouna]

@@Libertycustom73 No need for such baseless hostility; Mao is likely referring to the fact that Yang does poll consistently higher in many polls, but the DNC only considers very few to be 'qualifying',' and they accepted qualifying polls between mid-Nov to last week, while Yang achieved all qualifying polls necessary this week. This is a presidential run... so much changes over that amount of time. If the DNC had rules that reflected reality as it progresses in real-time, Yang would be on that stage and Steyer & Klobuchar would be the ones in his position. Regardless, Yang's support is the most resilient of them all -- him not being on the stage won't phase anyone. Edited to include this link: twitter.com/scottsantens/status/1217121521153515521

Wow! Thanks CNN for having Andrew yang.

[@jayguilloty6560]

We want more Andrew Yang, por favor.

[@mikemalachy]

Chris discusses a variety of issues with Andrew and concludes: “There is one thing that is abundantly clear. This guy has thought things through.”

[@Levnerad]

J Lee Well, doesn’t make sense to me. The proportion of Americans that actually need 1k/month to “transition” (whatever that even means- what direction are they transitioning) seems to be pretty small. In the next 4 or 8 years do you really thing AI trucks will be replacing truckers. It will take a long time for that technology to become integrated into current society.

[@mikemalachy]

Levnerad I get it is unfathomable to think so. How long do you think it will it take? What should the trucker do to prepare? Besides truckers, how long to replace call center workers, cashiers, bank back office workers, bartenders?....oh wait that is already happening. For now, unemployment benefits might tie some over, some will fall out of the job market, some will be fine. My biggest fear is that they, like many in the manufacturing sector, claim disability and other existing safety nets from which they cant escape. Some just spiraled into despair (addiction, suicide). Do we wait until its too late or do we try to get ahead of it?

[@Levnerad]

J Lee But you see tho how his main talking point is about truckers. I’m just trying to say that only a fraction of the people that will supposedly need 1k to “transition” will actually be displaced during Yangs presidency. And to me it seems disingenuous to say self driving trucks are an imminent problem when in reality the cyber security and social problems that need to be overcome in making them widespread will take several decades.

[@Levnerad]

J Lee And another thing. Why does basic income have to be universal? Other than the symbolic reasons yang cites, surely there are millions of instances where it is unnecessary and even harmful, like giving money to those perpetrating crime and domestic violence and enabling their activities It just doesn’t make sense to rally behind such a feeble concept. Why not support more targeted social welfare programs that can help those actually getting displaced

[@mikemalachy]

Levnerad Truckers for sure is his goto industry when he is short on time. He mentions all the other occupations in many of his speeches. The studies he cites say the timeframe is more like 5 to 15. I am mostly repeating his talking points and reasoning that I’ve done some level of personal vetting (i’ll fact check to the best of my ability. This involves taking a look at studies he points to and counter arguments posed by others).

[@rellys6039]

Ohhhhh CNN, now y'all want to put him out there?

[@leigh4841]

green trumps achievements mean nothing to the 70 percent of americans that live paycheck to paycheck, the veterans who are homeless, and the single parents who continuously struggle every day due to our broken safety net. All Yang has to do is point out that he can and will actually help people rather than just say he already did.

[@anointed1111]

As a Trump voter I’m glad to see my democratic candidate I’d like to see run against President trump. I really like what trump is doing, but if yang would oppose impeachment and stop the socialist aspects for reaching the activists I would probably vote for him instead of Trump. I just hope the swamp would give him a chance.

[@lamdao1242]

Shaun Andrew Yang will not do what you want because that is what the gophers are doing now.

[@bluesrockfan36]

He has said that he would pardon Trump even if impeachment is successful. He's a different type of cat.

[@my9781]

All I’ll say is that I’m in Yang camp. Before Yang, anytime I saw a Trump supporter online, I’d either fact check or ignore. Yang’s message made me sympathize with everyone. He quickly made me realize we’re all on the same boat. Please consider Yang and spread the word to everyone you know. This is for real. #notleftnotrightforward

[@anointed1111]

Leahcim Saymae thanks for not going crazy on me for being a Trump supporter. I like yang. I am anindependent and would seriously vote for the guy. But Trump’s work with the swamp isn’t complete. I would love, love, love for yang and tulsi to hand Hillary her behind in 2024. I’ll vote Democrat against Hillary.

[@donngreitontordilla1456]

Please vote for Yang in the primaries, and switch to Democrat until the nominations are final if that's a requirement in your state! With Yang as the Democratic nominee, you win no matter the outcome.
