Fuck Andrew Yang. He's a fucking retard who can't even cry on queue properly. Fucking disgrace. I never got his appeal. Weak loser!

"We're gonna take tens of thousands of dollars from working, contributing Americans, and then give everyone a thousand dollars. It's free money! (assuming you aren't in the group that had to earn it the first time and had more stolen than we give back.) Why won't people vote for me?

Because he appeals to the futurist crowd and that crosses party lines. I think people like the idea of what they think Yang represents more than what he actually represents. This happens a lot with candidates that pretend to bring something different to the table. There's always at least one every go around.

Also, some on the right actually like UBI as insurance against cancelling. It's not the worst thought, but the idea that Democrats would allow "Nazis" to get YEETbucks is absurd, never gonna happen.

The problem with futurists is that they're greedy. They want the future now instead of when the technology and systems have been built out to make it a reality. UBI falls under this umbrella. UBI is a poor attempt to cobble together a future paradigm into our existing system. It's not going to happen, it doesn't work. You should be building towards you grandchildren's grandchildren's future when post scarcity is closer to reality and then they won't even need UBI.

Plus $1000 a year? That’s not gonna save you when you have no job.

He was hoping China would back him, and still does (guaranteed he's going to try to run again eventually). Then if he got elected he would sell this country out to China in every way possible, get favored status with the Chinese government and make billions more doing business there (i.e. he would become a state sponsored Chinese business), move there after his term is up, and live his life out like an untouchable king. All he'd have to do is come out every so often to say how much America sucks as a former president, and the CCP would set him up for life and use him as a mouthpiece to trash America. That was the plan.

That's why he pushed for UBI, he wanted to bankrupt the nation, so that China could buy it up wholesale and facilitate the rise of China to the most powerful nation. He wanted us like Venezuela, where women would have to prostitute themselves to foreign tourists for a 1lb bag of rice.

His appeal is that he offered dumb, lazy millennials free money...and that's all those retards care about!
