Yang is starting to get a lot more coverage. The movement is starting to grow. We can't waste this opportunity America. Let's get this guy in office.

[@MrWampler33]

Agree - I have spent a lot of time reading his writing, his book and his platform. The guy truly is best suited out of all them running to lead the country.

As a Bernie supporter since 2015, you're in for a world of disappointment my friend.

[@LowDoughTech]

He starts getting more mainstream coverage AFTER he's blocked from the Ohio Ballot because of a "Paperwork Issue". The Democrats don't want him, because he's not a traditional "stand-for-nothing" Democrat. I'm still writing him in.

We need to care about our next President after wasting away these last four years on tweet fights, racial mockery and not taking impactful actions. He is the only candidate talking about the current catastrophic dark holes America has dug for itself that will bite us in the behind a few years from now. He is talking about rebuilding America for a future vision of our best selves while helping us Americans better the quality of our individual lives with a simple monetary adjustment that is bound to even create a boom in our economy again.

[@8bitpothead]

A conservative calling a Democrat knee-jerk is rich when Republican politics is nothing but reactionary...

[@MomoKunDaYo]

[@8bitpothead]

@@MomoKunDaYo You do realize there's an objective reality. I know republicans have been living in alternative-land for several years now. But Republican politics are reactionary by definition. So get a dictionary, look up reactionary, look up irony, and come back to reality. "a reactionary can be defined as a person or entity holding political views that favour a return to a previous political state of society" "Make America Great Again" The very party slogan is a reactionary politic.

[@MomoKunDaYo]

@@8bitpothead The irony is that you gave a knee jerk response in calling a republican reactionary, by definition *most* republicans are reactionary, because the defenition means to hold traditional views, which would just be a synonym for conservatism, but to make a generalized statement like that is reductive. You're ignoring the huge part of the republican party who doesnt hold to traditions, but disagrees with Democrats on policy, social reform, and economic ideology. Wanting to maintain a capitalist society is "reactionary" by that definition, but that doesnt mean you can conflate knee jerk decision making with that mindset.

@Logan Waltz world economy, neoliberalism, is conceived by and put into work for the business class to benefit only them. Hence, the extreme wealth inequality the like of which we saw only in feudal time where people are put into different classes and types, lords and peasants and beggars. It's time for us to rewrite the rule of the economy. If history is any use, it removes all of our ignorance. Only then are we able to aspire to new relationship, not the peasants and lords you are so used to.

Andrew Yang problems solving guy. We need him.

[@terryjackson9395]

Then why does he propose a VAT (which raises prices on items working class families need) instead of raising taxes of the companies that offshore and automate? Money to the poor goes directly to corporations (all welfare now is directly or indirectly corporate welfare, and corporations should be paying for such). Using a VAT to tax the middle class so they can continue to support Amazon, etc is a sham. AMAZON should be paying for the workers they displace.

[@good2btheking]

If he was serious about problem solving then he would propose that we set up UBN (Universal basic necessities) with all the technology we have access to instead of making us hopelessly dependent on UBI. Do the math.

[@subashgrg4666]

[@terryjackson9395]

@@subashgrg4666 Co-Owned a business in Europe for 10 years. A VAT exempts food, but not packaging. Do poor people have to buy cars? Pay more. Do poor people have to buy keyboards, office supplies, US assembled things made with foreign parts like office chairs, clothes, school supplies? Or are we going to make things super duper confusing and try to "VAT-this-but-not-that" everything to death, creating an insurmountable mountain of red tape and audits for smallish companies in places like Akron Ohio that make office chairs or print packaging. These are the companies that employ most people. Not Amazon or Facebook. And you guys are proposing this complex VAT program, and pretending it only affects rich people... Very shady. When all you have to do is create new IRS business categories for companies over $500 million that automate, create automation, offshore, and to what degree are they doing it. These companies can well afford the additional paperwork to report such. And if a company can't afford to pay directly for the damage it's doing to our employment picture (or other aspects of society, like the environment for that matter), then perhaps their business model just isn't viable. Andrew Yang is a front for wall street and/or big tech, who are planning on putting people out of work and are hoping the middle glass will pay for the damage, so they can still have customers.

[@just83542]

@@terryjackson9395 You make no sense. Yang isn't a part of these jobs being displaced, that's happening regardless. Yang is the only candidate with a proposal to mitigate that harm. Just because other countries have specified a VAT that exempts food doesn't mean that we are bound to implement the exact same thing. More loopholes is exactly what the these companies can afford the paperwork to circumvent. Your portrayal is almost completely reversed. If Yang was the Wall Street Candidate, his donor profile would be very different, as would his Mainstream Media Coverage. You also seem to say that the middle class will be charged to pay for the damage to the damage to the working class so that the automation industry will have customers? I'm really not understanding what you're that is supposed to mean.
