    And he's worked, really worked, in the midwest, running an award-winning job retraining program. Not sure there's a candidate who really knows our different ecosystems better than Yang. (Maybe as well as, but not better.) Immigrant family. Northeastern Private school graduate. Silicon Valley ties. Worked with refugees of midwest manufacturing.

    Damn but I like Yang.

    Yang with Warren would be neat.

    I'd say Bernie + Yang, but Bernie is likely to go for a female VP to make sure he isn't labeled a sexist by the mainstream media(smh).

    Who yall got winning a tag team match of Bernie + Tulsi vs Warren + Yang :eek::eek::eek:

    Didn't that used to be in this forum's description...Monkeys pitching floaters? He might be the only one here doing it right.

    At least he don't pinch them.

    An actual tag team match? Tulsi and Bernie easily. Tulsi’s In the military and could take Liz and Yang by herself, probably with one arm tied behind her back.

    But in an actual political debate, that would be a lot of fun to watch; too bad we won’t see it.

    God that would be such a depressing outcome. After watching Yang talk straight up climate policy and solutions for 45 minutes it was followed by Kamala story time about her children and talking about how bad the president is as if that solves anything/brings people together. Give me a freaking break.

    Americans are so crazy. There is a man willing to give everyone 12k a year for free with over 100 well thought out policies and people are like eh....

    He and Bernie are the only people polling even remotely well among republicans and Yang doesn’t scare off the anti “socialist” crowd.

    But let’s all vote for declining motor skills Biden because he has the “best chance” smh.... Hillary 2.0

    The real problem with Kamala (besides the whole bad ideas and no ideas things) is that she doesn't excite swing state voters.

    We don't need extra votes in California, Oregon, and Washington state.

    This is great!

    Remember - the goal is either a Yang presidency OR a president who sounds just like Yang.

    Americans realize that no president has the power to give anybody 12k a year.

    most Americans realize how government actually works.

    That’s not it at all. American know that there isn’t such a thing as free lunch and want to understand the trade off. Who else would want higher taxes? Who else wouldn’t want 0 taxes? I mean, if this how American think, they would never ever elect anyone that doesn’t stick to the status quo cause anything that requires “government work” isn’t possible, right?

    I don't really understand what this has to do with what I posted.

    My point was that Presidents are not all powerful and that poster claiming Yang could give everybody 12k a year was extremely naive.

    What shenanigins?I

    Why can't it be a simple mistake?

    This is why I am leary of Yang he leans to far into the politics of the aggrieved.

    I am sick of it on both sides.

    They keep making the same mistake over and over again. Even after his complaining about it, they still don't have a QA guy to say "hey, you forgot Yang again." Are these media folks professional communicators?

    He’s not launching stupid conspiracies but noting he was left out of an otherwise complete list.

    More Yang bumper stickers displayed in SF than any other candidates’. Just saying. The enthusiasm for him is not really getting media play, and I understand why.

    ^Never underestimate the "black people aren't part of the democratic party" approach of the Lonesome SpurnieBro.

    Black people in upper midwestern swing states hold the future of the country in their hands.

    I'm sure they love them some quirky Yang memes.

    what mistake are they making over and over again?


    I have plenty of lists that that he is included in.

    Is this really a thing?

    So what benefit does the media get for the ommision?

    I don't agree that he is not getting media play, especially for a candidate who is polling at 2%.

    He is definitely getting more play than Castro Beto, Klobachar and Tulsi and recently it's on par with Mayor Pete.

    This was one list and what effect does it have?

    Who is hurt by this omission?

    Being left of that list will not affect viewership at all.

    At least he is not getting his Mic cutoff, amirite?
