Andrew Yang Raises $10 Million, in a Display of Fundraising Strength
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
I hope people wake up and realize Biden is too toxic at this point to win the general. Warren is in the best spot right now but that's because she has been getting the spotlight since she announced, Yang consistently gets left out of charts and graphs that would at least help him with name recognition, Hell didn't an MSNBC anchor refer to him as Joe Yang?
I would like to see Warren's bunch o' plans approach with the "She's got a plan for that" vs Yang's mainly singular message in UBI.
This is complete nonsense, Warren is in the best spot because of her excellent campaigning. It took her from "She shouldn't run/She should drop out!" in February 2019 to bordering on frontrunner in October. It's been a very steady but gradual climb all year.
Dismissing her with "oh the MEDIA helped" or whatever that was supposed to mean is silly at best.
More politicians should learn from it, regardless of people's thoughts on Yang.
Trump isn't bad because he lacks experience. He's bad because he's an evil racist.
He also sucks because he lacks experience and is a fucking idiot.
While I don't think Yang is stupid or bigoted, the idea that experience is irrelevant is a dangerous one.
Ya I'm sure Trump would be great if only he had more political experience
He does in the sense there is a chance I will be stung by a bee and struck by lightening at the same time
Hey, with Era, you never know. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw people going after him for the joke.
I'll take Yang as a third option. He is better than the other ghoulish options for sure. Even if I think his UBI is flawed, there's still an angle of compassion that he's coming from with it.
I don't know why people are so quick to throw him under the "not a serious candidate" category.
There are 12 candidates in the next debate. I'm way more confident in Yang than I am in over half of the current field, filled with career politicians with no vision or novelty.
He has new ideas and should at the very least be taken seriously, and not considered a "meme." I doubt he will be the candidate but those who want him to just call it confuse me quite a bit. The election is over a year away. Let's see how it plays out.
I'd much rather Castro, Gabbard, Klobuchar, Stryker, Booker, Harris drop out before he does.

I don't think people discounting Yang are saying he's less likely to win than, say Booker - but compared to Biden, Warren, and Sanders - he has little support.
I don't think it really matters who dropped out before him when he drops out. You don't get extra points for dropping out later. There's only one winner. Biden, Warren or Sanders are the frontrunners by a wide, wide margin.
I didn't know Stryker was in the running.
Real talk I think he'd win against Trump.
He probably would be more successful at implementing his policies and have less turnover for one.
You really think a Dem president wouldn't have problems if they walked in the door in January
2021 with barely an idea of how the government works?
Money != chances. Just ask JEB!
Yang's definitely not a liberal. It's part of why 4Chan likes him so much.
I dont like certain arguments of his, or where his campaign is predicated on as a priority, but he's better than quite a few of the contenders on the list. Congrats to him. He'd be decent in an administration position like he was under Obama
If this is the world we now live in, then just bring in Bezos and have him purchase the presidency and be done with it
True but he has some very novel and interesting ideas that shouldn't be ignored just because he has no chance
If a candidate knows how to take good advice and delegate, I think they could overcome the disadvantage. On the plus side, they may owe fewer political favours and be less compromised.
Basically I think lack of political experience shouldn't be a disqualifying factor. It should have weight, but not too much weight.
Not really.
They like a horse race and he has zero shot so why bother?
He consistently polls better than Booker and has beaten Harris and Buttigieg in some polls. So why put anyone on a chart other than Sanders, Warren, and Biden? Fuck it why not just put Biden as the nominee? He's been on top for months now.
Yang has consistently grown so the longer he's in the race the better he will do.
The problem with that is the race is not perpetual. When voting starts the lower polling candidates drop out fast.
Harris, Booker, and Buttigieg are names and worthy of stories in the media's eyes so they get covered even though they also have no shot.
I also think it shouldn't be given too much weight, but there's a big difference between less and none.
Sounds similar to what people were saying about Trump in 2015/16.
It's honestly sad thinking about how much money gets basically flushed down the toilet in donations to these candidates that don't have a chance. Think of what $10m could do if donated to a charity or hospital or school...or basically anything else.
People want to donate to a cause they believe in. If we all just donated and voted for the top person all the time, nothing would ever change. Why do you care so much that people want to spend their money on a cause they believe in?
And who is to say they dont donate money to those causes too?
