I don't know how I ever doubted the guy. And deservedly, I feel terrible. Yang is just smarter than me and it's not even close. I think I was just so heated trying to explain to people why his healthcare is superior to the rest and was so disappointed he didn't fight for his plan. This soured my mood, but the more I dig in. I think Yang played everything brilliantly.
His opening line was brilliant. He said it was great to be back on the stage and that generated enthusiastic cheers in the crowd, which showed he had strong support.
Next, flagship proposal. Most people have never heard about Yang. Name-recognition is our enemy. He's is reinforcing his brand for those who don't know his stump.
Do not be like Bernie's campaign. Attacking other supporter's candidates is not how we win their support. Leave the in-fighting to the participants and don't get involved. When they all finally look up, bloodied, they'll see that Andrew is the only one who can truly unify.
Great LA Times article on Yang today. MSM is coming around.

In fact, I took WaPo's policy quiz and Pete is my number #2 apparently. It definitely made me examine him more. So I went to Pete's sub and was shocked that it hasn't cracked 30k. What's going on? I know the argument is his team has boots on the ground instead of the internet. But you can be both. If you're passionate about Pete, you're gonna consume all the Pete content you can. And he has a young energized base. He's a media darling and is popular on Reddit.
I remember a year ago when this sub had like 12k and Pete had 20k. I thought, "we're never going to catch up with them." So weird.
Let's face it, America is no longer a leader. We do not lead the world in education, health, income disparity or any other measurement of human well-being. It's why the rest of the candidates are begging us to play catch-up with European countries.
I firmly believe that if UBI is passed in the US, it will be the biggest world change since democracy. It will transform the US into a leader again.
Andrew's core message is that we need to untether human value and economic value. I've lived a long time and I have never heard a politician utter that notion. It's so simple, obvious and radical. We've been brain-washed for so long to believe the more money we make the more valuable we
Meghan McCain and The View would rather have a beer with Andrew.

Marianne Williamson describes how the left has treated her. YangGang can certainly relate.
