    It was pretty funny.

    I especially like the part where they admonished the Democrats for talking about taking healthcare away from people, like the people with jobs today.
    Just like Obama did to the retirees. Take the retirees healthcare, then go for the people with jobs, like 65% of Americans.
    Damn! That is a sure fire winner. Just ask any retired person that remembers the wonderful Obama gift.

    It helps them target certain demographics based on race, gender, family history and other factors. Many of the genetic tests people do for their own ancestry research are fair game as well. Simply paying for them is consent to disclose your genetic data to the highest bidder.

    Just watched all of Yang's moments he got to speak.

    I'm sorry but dude killed it. I don't care if you don't believe he can win. He was amazing with the shit he said.

    bingo bango bongo ....Im thinking Gabbard will try and be the one to conciliate the two sides but not from a moderate standpoint necessarily, but being willing to preach the power of unity and compromise, give and take, with respect. She has a nice command about her too, which I think people could respect about her and possibly be open to her lead. Still early however and a whole lot could happen and even something unexpectedly.

    I didn't dislike Kasich. He was one I preferred of the republicans choices. Buttttt, kasich doesn't have the charisma that Yang does imo.

    His answer about healthcare (current system is hard on employers and employees) was outstanding.

    His answer about Detroit was a bit illogical - he bragged about his immigrant dad earning 65 patents with IBM and GE, and then said that auto factory floors are run by robots, and that's not the fault of immigrants. Of course he meant that Guatemalan refugees aren't taking auto jobs, but it sounds like the robots might be the fault of his dad.

    John Kasich was definitely not amazing, and still isn't.

    Problem with Yang is the whole “everyone gets $1000 a month ” or whatever his plan is. Seems kinda...ridiculous

    Well, if the peasants starve, who is going to till the fields?

    And what if they storm the castle?

    Watch his interview with Joe Rogan. It's explained nicely. And he is nowhere near the first person to bring it up As he said, MLK JR was a proponent.

    Alaska has a much smaller comparable thing going on. You get oil money just by being a resident. It seems to have succeeded for decades.

    He's a lying piece of crap. You should look at the crazy shit he's done in Ohio.

    This is a silly notion.

    On immigration, drone strikes et all, there are many things to criticise Obama about. Where the fuck was Biden on the extension of the Bush tax cuts? I'd like to know.

    I'll take your word for it. I liked him when he was on the debate stage because he seemed reasonable. Didn't really investigate much tbh.

    This is the first year I've tried to stay on top of it all. I like Andrew Yang that much.

    Do your research.
