Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Andrew Yang Says His Supporters Could Back Bernie" video.
At least someone's delegates will go to Bernie. Warren's basically admitted to us ahead of time she will back Joe Biden over Bernie when she finally throws in the towel for her campaign.

We'll see when the time comes. There's a chance everyone, and I mean everyone, ends up turning against Bernie and giving their delegates collectively to Joe Biden. Expect the worst.

@danielrivard2485 Bernie's corruption policy already includes public financing/vouchers. It is only one step in his process to get money out of politics that ends with a Constitutional Amendment and reversing court cases such as Buckley v Valeo and Citizens United.

@danielrivard2485 Public financing of elections (ie what Yang re-branded as "Democracy Dollars") is only a small portion of what is needed to end corruption, it's why Bernie's plan is better and goes farther.

@TheMoBrother Bernie has a 40 year record of fighting for the same things. Even someone like Joe Rogan understands why this is a hugely important thing to have. We've been burned by past presidents before who, once they got into office, became a part of the establishment. Yang's only been in politics for a little over a year. There's no trust there, especially not after he backtracked on Medicare for All and continued to be dishonest about it (he's now calling it something else, so clearly he knows he wasn't being upfront).

@pattimac373 I don't think Tulsi would (there's no guarantee), but I'm far less sure about Yang considering he was saying he would be happy to be Joe Biden's VP and said he was closest in ideology to Joe Biden. There's a lot that can happen between now and the convention, don't get caught up in a false sense of security by anyone or else people will be surprised & shocked again when the next person backstabs Bernie.

@danielrivard2485 That's why Bernie's corruption plan is a step by step process. Public financing is always just a temporary solution that would be used as a stepping stone to galvanize more support among the people to push for removing all money from politics through a Constitutional Amendment and reversing key court cases. Public financing is not the end-all-be-all and it could potentially have unwanted side-effects if left in place for too long, but when you couple it as just one step in an overall plan to remove money from politics, it is an important tool to enhance our Democracy to make a more permanent solution possible at all in the first place. Wolfpac would've likely already achieved its goal to call a Convention if it was operating in a country where public financing was fueling state-wide politics.
