Larry Daniels I don't think that's what Biden said or was meaning at all. Apparently you didn't know that his dad was a member of the KKK. He was raised under that idealism. They just don't talk about it on TV. Our country is riddled under a cloud of secrecy whose intentions are to Cloud the minds of the Common Man or to occupy them rather so try not to focus what's really going on. But what they overlooked is all men are created equal there's nothing special about them having paper printed with green ink on it or metals that they consider thier 'precious' reveals the Golem hidden within their souls. Because they have no consideration of man being equal and that we all perish the same way.

Clyburn and Lewis are far more knowledgeable on Biden's efforts of working on racial and anti-poverty issues and have offered their support.

[@liammurphy6439]

I get that it was kind of funny that Yang said "sorry?" in response to his first question, but after the moderator repeated the question, he gave the most detailed and thoughtful answer of the whole debate. He hasn't gotten fair coverage yet, and this program's framing of his response unfortunately contributes to that because many average folk will only ever see this clip. Normally this show is good at accurately portraying a person while also being very comedic, so this is extra disappointing.

[@soulbiscuit2618]

he shouldve gotten more time but his answers generally sucked, like saying that UBI would somehow destroy the threat of climate change or giving the most generic neoliberal closing statement where he just talked about the existential threat of donald trump's existence

[@JerzyFeliksKlein]

True, but it was also funny as hell :P

[@SMATF5]

It's a shame too, because his policies are probably the most thoroughly and comprehensively laid out of all of the Democratic candidates, but he's getting overshadowed because he's not a loud, flashy attention grabber.

[@shaan702]

Yang should be offering the $1000 on top of the social programs. His offer to either take the cash or the benefits is a rather unsubtle way of kicking people off of welfare programs. Also the value added tax is the one of the most regressive taxes there is. The money for a UBI should come from the top 1% exclusively. The UBI can be an effective way of reducing poverty and severe economic inequality but not the version he’s pushing. The version he’s pushing is a right wing distortion.

[@Yanaschaf]

UBI is nice if it is put ON TOP of social safety systems, not instead of them. If some people get money on top, but vulnerable people had to use the ubi to pay what was preciously covered by the social safety policies, that's creating more inequality. And as far as I've seen, Yang is for the latter, which is dangerous.

[@NeonMoon87]

@@Yanaschaf he wants them to stack up. So, let's say, you're getting $600/mo. from government assistance, the freedom dividend aka UBI would give you $400 to equal it to $1000.

[@patrickn578]

@@Yanaschaf Yang's plan allows people to choose which option works best for them. More broadly though if someone is only getting, say, 500 at month from the current system an extra 500 would make a massive difference to that person. Whilst you might be annoyed that even Jeff Bezos gets a free 1000 a month, which would mean nothing to him, even modest increase in reliable cash to the lower classes could be life-changing for them. You're also missing a key part of Yang's approach, by creating a mindset of abundance, as opposed to a mindset of scarcity, it creates a political landscape in which to strengthen the social welfare systems further for those who need it. Also, don't underestimate the 'no strings attached' benefits of UBI. Let's say someone is receiving 1000 in welfare now. In order to get that 1000 they likely have to prove their eligibility and jump through a whole bunch of bureaucracy which leads to added stress and uncertainty. As well UBI has no stigma associated with it as it's universal. You also need to consider the economic benefits of increasing the purchasing power of lower and middle classes. This flood of UBI money will be circulated around the local economy which in turn creates new jobs and opportunities, even for those currently on welfare.

@@lilyusi Buttigieg’s campaign isn’t taking donations from corporate PACs or fossil fuel interests. What your probably referring to is taking campaign donations from Elmendorf who has lobbied on behave of many companies such as Amazon, The American Gaming Association, etc. Elmendorf is openly gay and previously chaired the Victory Fund, which supports gay and lesbian candidates for office. It makes since that he would support the only gay candidate running. Buttigieg's campaign has had complete transparency for every donation. He's not hiding any dark money and there is no evidence that any donation has had an impact on any of his decisions. Running for President as a mid-sized city mayor instead of a Senator who had been building up a warchest for years has many disadvantages. I personally don't see a problem with him trying to even the playing field. He hasn't been corrupted by the Washington machine like so many others who have been toiling away year after year in that corrupt sandbox. I'm more hesitant about any Washington politician.

Winning this election will require charisma. I’d say this was a step back for yang unfortunately.

[@weaselsdawg]

Matt R Today I learned that charisma is defined by other people slurring questions over crowd noise. He seems charismatic enough in interviews and discussions I’ve seen, this is just a disingenuous misrepresentation of his understanding of his flagship policy. It doesn’t help that he was given, what, 2 questions? Also didn’t help that when he tried to speak later in the debate his mic had literally been cut out. Kind of ridiculous to happen in an open debate setting.

[@mattr372]

weaselsdawg he was deer in headlights when asked the one question that he knew he was going to get. “How do you pay for the $1000 a month” I’ve heard him answer it before and he is capable of articulating the answer but on the debate stage he stumbled. The debate format is a huge challenge to overcome but they’re all on that stage together. As for how the other candidates faired I look at Tulsi Gabbard and Kamala Harris as the 2 candidates who displayed themselves with the sharpness that will be required to defeat trump.

[@weaselsdawg]

Matt R There were multiple candidates who literally just had trouble hearing the questions. It’s not “deer in headlights” if you can’t even hear what they’re asking.

I agree.

[@jay.hartman1789]

@Puppet Master One "crystal healer lady" means you know approximately 2% about her. Smooth that. Two. Yang DID answer his question. (Bonus, he did it within his allotted time.) You didn't hear anyone else being asked how specifically they were going to implement their policies. And in 2016 one candidate became POTUS even after he specifically avoided telling people anything concrete about his plans. I'm a fan of intellect as much as the next guy, that's why I'm seriously rooting for Harris. But I've read Yang's tax plan. I think it's a waste of resources to divvy up across the entire population all at once like a tax refund. (He's literally just trying to bribe everyone.) But aside from that the math checks out. Paired that with everything else on the Democratic agenda and it's plausible we could get everything done on a 0-2% tax hike on the middle class and below. Which is big news for everyone on the left who's been told by the likes of Shapiro that there just isn't anyway for Healthcare reform, Education reforms, et al with what money we have. Yang's proof that the money's been there the whole time, it's just not been accessible under trickle-down economics.

[@visq]

@Puppet Master You're clearly bother for some reason lol. You say Andrew was arrogant yet he was the only candidate to thank his supporters for getting him on stage.

From now on; whenever I see her being interviewed, or in a debate, I’m gonna be looking for her power ring, and humming the theme tune haha. “Captain Planet, he’s our our hero, Gonna take pollution down to zero...” Trump reminds me of Looten Plunder (though crossed with Hoggish Greedly- a pig-like human character): one of the bad guys from ‘Captain Planet’. And, if Marianne Williamson somehow won the nomination (which currently seems as likely as ME winning Miss Universe haha), and beat him, I could definitely see Trump yelling: “You’ll pay for this, Marianne Williamson!” Shaking his tiny fist, as he scuttles off back to one of his lairs- probably Trump Tower or Mar-A-Lago: awaiting the “knock-knock” from the FBI, and all the lovely indictments they (hopefully) pile on him...ah, a man can but dream/hope/pray haha. Jeez, after all these ‘Captain and Planet’ references, I reckon, on the “Pathetic Geek Scale” of 1 to 10, me being able to; not only remember the name of the bad guy/s, “Looten Plunder”, and “Hoggish Greedly”, but also that he (Plunder) was the character who said “You’ll pay for this, Captain Planet” in the theme song, I’m probably at an 11...thousand haha. It’s odd: I started off watching a video about political debates, and ended up quoting from a 90’s kids show, about and fighting eco terrorism haha.

Sanders is too much of a zero sum game proponent, you know 'someone' has to lose, e.g. Wall Street, Big Pharma, Military Industrial Complex..etc before others win and is way too combative, basically the mirror image of Trump, and both, unlike Andrew Yang, are thin on solutions that are relevant to the 21st century and specifically how to harness the rapid emergence of AI directed automation technology for human concern. You get Bernie in the identity politics will simply continue, us vs them. *This is the 3rd innings of the 4th Industrial revolution and Andrew is the only candidate that recognizes the challenges.* For example we are less than a decade away from displacing 3 million truck drivers with AI directed self driving trucks, and the attitude we should have towards this isn't protectionism but an enthusiasm to see extraordinary efficiency gains coupled with the plumitting of fatalities due to human error. We should be rooting for similar gains in efficiency outcomes in as many cognitive repetitive & manually repetitive jobs(approx 40% of all jobs in the US both blue & white collar) throughout the economy and if we are not then we should be calling into question 20th century thinking about the economy and this is the thrust of Andrew's campaign, it's *not Left or RIght it is forward!!* Bernie and other democratic candidates are to narrowly invested in the toxic left/right narrative it will only serve to continue the decisiveness that Trump Presidency bought with it. Without a unified vision that Andrew brings to the table, society will end up continuing to tearing itself apart. I'm open to be convinced otherwise...

Even though I hate that Seth and Stephen Colbert only showed Yang's confusion at the question, and not his answer, I can understand that those hosts focus on the main attractions and sprinkle over with some clips of the 'crazies'.

He delivered a good and well-spoken response which the late night hosts have all unfairly omitted, but in the end it still didnt add up.

That's a lot, but it's still 2.2 trillion unaccounted for. Maybe there wasn't enough time to get to that part?

It way to be expected. His record is awful. It had to be called out. His pro war attitude alone... Well, check out Kyle Kulinski ;)

Where have you been living? Even Biden knows he's going to be slammed if he talks in the same place as the other candidates. That's why he didn't go to Iowa or California with the other 19 or so.

Just a reminder, Biden gave George W. Bush a Liberty Medal last year for bringing so much "Freedom" to the world. He also brags about writing the Patriot Act and that he's close friends with McConnell.

Come on Seth, cheap and lazy dig at Yang. Also given the debate aired on MSNBC, you're looking like part of the strong-arm right now.

You can not fact check a debate where no facts were presented.

@chris L it's hard telling....too many people now actually prefer to be lied to as they simply fear reality
