  1. that is my issue with it. There is no hurry.

  2.  @evolu9660  it was not that bad though. Bernie is not going to be the candidate, Yang's math is not wrong.

  3.  @mrdenson3101  and people should stop project bad intentions on him as well.

  4. I am actually disappointed in K&S for not talking about this. I wonder why they didn't, they seemed uninformed about the whole thing.

  5.  @FMfan18  it sure looks like it. I am more disappointed in them than Yang, tbh.

  6.  @mrdenson3101  "But it’s delusional for anyone to believe his endorsement of Biden right now will bring party unity or convince Bernie supporters who are still very raw to vote for Biden." That is not the point of Yang's endorsement though. He specifically said that it is obviously not enough to just sit and wait for the votes to come, that Biden have to cater to their desires to earn their votes. You say that people should stop projecting good intentions on him, well you should stop projecting bad intentions on him. Practice what you preach.

  7.  @AdmiralBison  but Yang did this in his endorsement, not something he just said prior. I am not sure I would even call it an endorsement, I would call it supporting.

  8. only slightly disappointing for me. I think how bad it is is widely exaggerated.

  9. is he backtracking or did you hear the entire clip when Yang talks about his endorsement? It is rather long, so I suspect most people haven't heard it. Not even Krystal and Saagar seems to have seen it as they don't talk about it :o.

  10.  @bngltinkerbell  It doesn't matter what he says before? Are you nuts? Then why do you say he is backtracking? What do you even mean? And what is he backtracking from and why do you care if it doesn't matter what he said regarding the endorsement? Do you get his argument that it now is Trump vs. Biden? If so, then why are you so upset that he endorses Biden in the race against Trump? Why don't you try to be a bit more reasonable?

  11. It is a bit premature given that Biden can't even stand for 2 hours on the debate stage. That has to be a part of the math equation. Gotta get all them relevant variables in there!

  12.  @prog.rocker  if you would follow the predictions of 538, Yang would be spot on. Bernie never had more than 50% chance of winning at any point according to them, and Biden was never lower than 10%. Not Bernie is at around 0% and Biden is at <99%: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/ What 538 does to come up with these numbers is what Yang refers to, math. Important to note, as far as I know since 538 just does the math, not speculate. They don't venture into the territory of speculating when a candidate drops out and who their supporters will go to. With that in mind, the probability of Biden winning would have been larger than 10% as what just happened wasn't an unlikely scenario if we'd speculate.

  13.  @mrdenson3101  if you want to talk about your main point, don't made a second point that is easily argued against. I agree that he should have waited, but I am not sure it makes that much difference as the picture you paint. When Yang endorses Biden, do you think it is a call to his supporters to support Biden or is it a call to Bernie's supporters to support Biden? If you think the latter, he expressively says that that is not what he is doing, so I see no real validity in your complaint.

  14.  @brandoYT  I assume that is an argument for why this isn't a political move by Yang?

  15. Well said.

  16. did you watch the entire clip where Yang talks about his endorsement?

  17.  @morenitomoreno1282  within reasonable probabilities, Bernie is not in the race mathematically anymore though. Yang could have waited, but it doesn't make him a slime ball for not waiting longer. To be fair, he has already waited. When did he pretend to support M4A? From way, way, way back I remember Yang specifically not supporting M4A in favor of UBI. Yang is not choosing Biden over Bernie, he is supporting the winner. I think that is what you get wrong.

  18.  @morenitomoreno1282  to put things into perspective, I presume you think all politicians are slime balls and frauds?
    1
  19.  @morenitomoreno1282  why do you assume he lied instead of any other possibility? As in changed his mind of was not fully aware of the meaning of M4A?

  20.  @morenitomoreno1282  good job at not answering the question.

  21.  @morenitomoreno1282  "your boy", lol. I mean, I know you are not really trying to be rational, it is just funny to see the you whine so much.

  22.  @morenitomoreno1282  you are whining like there is no tomorrow. Except on immigration

  23. I agree he should have waited as well, at least until after next debate and following state(s). #1 Yang and #2 Bernie here as well!

  24. but he also said he would back the eventual nominee, and you could argue that Biden is just that now.

  25. he has a point about the math though, you have to give him that.

  26. I think what made Yang endorsement OK was that he really pressed hard on that it is up to the establishment to attract the Bernie voters, not up to the Bernie voters to follow in line.
