    Register Andrew Yang! The only candidate truly forward! His mottos are “Humanity first” and “not left, not right, forward”! What else do you have to know???

    I fear the Democrats are going to cut off their nose to spite their face again. ALL Democrats will vote for the Democratic candidate. What you NEED is the ONE Democrat who can also bank millions of Republican votes. The only one you have that can do that is BIDEN….This Republican WANTS TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN and their are many more like me out there. But give us Sanders, Warren or Trump and you will likely get 4 more years of the jerk we have now. Just speaking the truth. We will not vote for Sanders or Warren but we will vote.

    Looks like giving Yang fair coverage isn’t as easy as ABC

    About 4 years ago, I was someone hoping Bernie wouldn't lose, and when he got pushed out and bent to the will of Hillary and the DNC, I lost hope in our system. A year ago I didn't know who Andrew Yang is. Around 10 months ago I started seeing stuff about him float around online, I thought Yang and his $1000 was a gimmick/joke with no way of ever passing or functioning, and I was wary of seeing Sanders jump back in after he caved last time. Cut to today, after having watched dozens of interviews and reading more news and research data than I have ever thought I'd be interested in, Andrew Yang is the only one that gives me hope again, and the only one I believe Trump is afraid of. Its not just the fact that he has been caught saying Yang is the only real threat. His intelligence would tear Trump apart on the debate stage. Yang scored a 1220 out of 1600 on his SAT when he was only 12 years old. He was on the US National debate team at one point. He holds a 780 out of 800 GMAT. All of Trump's typical attacks won't work because he's an outsider business man like Trump was, except Yang doesn't have a streak of bankrupt businesses in his past, just one and he admits he learned from his mistake and has been successful ever since that one learning experience. What is he gonna do after the usual stuff falls apart? Be super racist, call him a commie Chinaman? Communism is when the government controls the means of production (i.e. federally mandated jobs and wages) and UBI is just about the opposite. Hell, making sure people have money to spend is capitalist af. And it's been interwined in our history. Thomas Paine and Milton Friedman have brought up similar ideas, MLK jr. spoke about the automation of jobs and labor and how a guaranteed income would be needed to solve many of society's problems, Greg Mankiw (one of the leading minds of modern large scale economics, Prof. of Econ. at Harvard, lifelong republican) has even said that Yang is the one putting a plan on the table that makes sense. It almost passed almost 50 years ago, the only reason it didn't was because nobody could agree on how much. Anything else Trump could possibly come at him with can either be handled with the facts and research, or parried by Donald Trump's own words, thanks to twitter. And none of the others are realistically going to pull off Trump supporters or hardcore republicans, at best Bernie can pull the "not Hillary" voters of 2016. Yang is different, he can get all kinds of support across the board. If you want proof, go to the comment section of his Ben Shapiro interview, or any Yang videos on Fox official YT, its filled with conservatives that say "this guy makes sense" or "I would vote for him if he was the the democrat, only him". The reason the media doesn't talk much about him and gets his name wrong or excludes him from polls is because he could make real change happen that could help people and it would hurt their bottom line. I doubt I can post links without them being deleted but if I can I'll try to drop them in the replies

    This presidency election is going to be better than world series and Superbowl combine but also makes me feel bad for the human race for reason similar to the movie idiocracy

    Of course ABC uses a graphic of money printing when they mention andrew yang's proposition for UBI. This tactic is unbelievably misleading in regard to his proposition. They are trying to insinuate that he will haphazardly cause inflation with his UBI plan by introducing more money to the economy similar to the QE bailouts of the past decade. This is an example of media propaganda subvertingly raping the subconscious of their viewers so that they can quietly own our thoughts. Yang wants to use currency that already "exists" in the economy which will not cause inflation in the same way that "printing" would. ABC should use that graphic for their next report on the Fed's current repo operation that has been bailing out the G-SIBs like Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs by conjuring up billions of dollars every business day out of nowhere ever since September 17th 2019 and is still going on to today…oh wait that's not being reported…oooops!
