@mrankitanks Yang is going to be president someday. Down the future when the establishment concedes that something needs to change or their entire system and gravy train will crumble they will give us andrew yang and a regressive UBI to prop up the current system. We won't get real change, like universal health care or an increase in wages but we will all get a small bribe to keep us from picking up our pitchforks. Nevermind that yang is going to gut the current social safetey net to help pay for his UBI. Nevermind that all that UBI money will funnel to the top just like it does now make the rich even richer. The peasants will all get just enough crumbs to keep them placated. A small bribe in lieu of real change. A small bribe that will all end up in the hands of the rich anyway.

@andrewdwyer2456 "Yang definitely has a special appeal for sure" There is no mystery that bribing people with money makes you like them and that the effect works on both "sides."

@mrankitanks "At a time when Bernie was the frontrunner." Immediately after yang dropped out he endorsed noone saying that he wanted someone to support UBI. Tulsi supported ubi and still he didn't endorse her or try to push sanders over the top. Yang ultimately endorsed biden after sanders was out and despite him not offering UBI like yang said he needed. He was bad and lying but not exactly in the way you say.

@bluesrockfan36 "OPT into UBI," Why should people have to opt into what is suppose to be a UNIVERSAL program? Why should people have to choose between food stamps and UBI?

I'm way to the left and I can't stand him. He's the liar and conman who said he supported m4a while running for potus right? Not sure what you think is decent about that.

@bluesrockfan36 One more thing to add regarding, "All those videos were pushed by Bernie propagandists." You remind me of trump supporters who screech 'fake news' when presented with evidence their conman is lying.

@mrankitanks I do think that his campaign was designed to try and stop sanders from the nomination. His campaign would take support from bernie but it wouldn't take it from biden. And in a world where every point matters yang was taking about 1-3 points in all national polls while the election is being framed. That momentum he stole was important in a world where everyone was conspiring against sanders and the dnc claimed pete buttigieg "won" the iowa caucus. He is a snake just as much as warren is.

@bluesrockfan36 Regarding, "every single B.S smear against Yang." Smears are lies. It's not a lie to point out that yang wants to gut about half a trillion dollars per year from poor people to pay for his UBI. "nuance for you, uh?" What you call "nuance" is just you deflecting from the problems I have with yang.

@andrewdwyer2456 Jimmy dore doesn't like yang either. He too must be a racist.

@bluesrockfan36 Regarding, "You're nothing but a pile of lies and half-truths." You say this because you are a liar. "No. Yang does not cut out half a trillion from "poor people"." He does according to him. Right here on youtube, "Andrew Yang: Paying for a Universal Basic Income" When asked how are you going to pay for UBI the first thing he mentions is, "500 billion dollars per year on income support" that he is gutting to pay for UBI. That's not "savings" that's gutting to pay for UBI. But as always yanggang will lie about it.

@bluesrockfan36 Regarding, "First: Jimmy likes Yang." Jimmy's video titled "Andrew Yang Smeared by POLITICO In Transparent Hit Piece." from 9 days ago at right about 4:10 in the video right after jimmy's guest gets done telling you how much they don't like yang jimmy's response, "I'm not on board with yang." "Stop watching and enabling racists." You make me like yanggang even less than I already do. That's not easy.

@bluesrockfan36 "The welfare system we have is broken and has failed us." It's one the few things our government actually gets right and yang wants to dismantle it. One of the favorite things people who love say about UBI is 'once you get it people will never even think about getting rid of it.' That's how people feel about food stamps. I mean what kinda person doesn't want poor people to be able to eat? You could never take that away. But yang has figured out a way to gut it all.

@SwiftySanders You know what else is good to know? Youtube videos with titles such as, "Yang Admits He's Been Lying About Medicare For All" "Andrew Yang Backpedals from Medicare for All" "Andrew Yang Gets Called-Out Over His Health Care Lie" "Andrew Yang Reaffirms That He Does NOT Support Medicare For All"

@quaternio "Our welfare system is one of the few successful government programs?" Studies show that every dollar put into programs like this pays itself over multiple times in value. I mean, it's not as good an investment as bombs are but still it's not a complete failure.

@Josh-oj9mm Well done on reminding me why I can't stand yang gang thou. Not that I needed to.

@Josh-oj9mm " "reeeeeeeeeee i have to pay 0.5 cents more on my mars bar! i'm so poor!"" reee I can't intelligently address what you are actually saying so I'm going to lie about what you are saying. Standard operating procedure for yanggang.
