Political experience is meaningless.He's not that bad, but sorry dude this election is too important to take Yang seriously. There's way too much at stake to go all-in on someone without political experience.
Which Warren would absolutely crush him in, even in this scenario where all the other candidates vanish for some reason. Biden "losing popularity" doesn't mean he ceases to exist you know.
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.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.
Trump isn't bad because he lacks experience. He's bad because he's an evil racist.
Pretty sure that was a joke.

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
Man, this better be a joke.Ya I'm sure Trump would be great if only he had more political experience
Hey, with Era, you never know. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw people going after him for the joke.
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.
So was my post.
I didn't know Stryker was in the running.I'd much rather Castro, Gabbard, Klobuchar, Stryker, Booker, Harris drop out before he does.
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 don't know why people are so quick to throw him under the "not a serious candidate" category.

In what universe is Yang closer on policy to Biden than Warren?Yangs my #2 after Bernie. His policies make sense and I'm a firm believer that our two biggest threats right now are Global warming and AI further widening the gap of income inequality.

Money != chances. Just ask JEB!
Yang's definitely not a liberal. It's part of why 4Chan likes him so much.Yang's version of UBI is the liberal equivalent to the flat tax.
Mb then. You just never know these days...
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.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?
Does anyone find it strange that some media outlets continue to ignore Yang?
Not really.
They like a horse race and he has zero shot so why bother?
The problem with that is the race is not perpetual. When voting starts the lower polling candidates drop out fast.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.

Basically I think lack of political experience shouldn't be a disqualifying factor. It should have weight, but not too much weight.
Not really.

No, he doesn't. He's polling low single digits.
No it doesn't, Trump was polling as a frontrunner quickly.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.
