Burke Dennings said: Hey yeah, your meme posts on this subject got me interested in checking out what Yang is about. He doesn’t actually seem too bad, I like some of his ideas, but I was having a hard time understanding why the incel/4chan/neckbeard communities have latched onto this guy so hard. I found this article that gets into it a bit. It explains that these groups are into Yang as a kind of edgy post-Trump irony that runs adjacent to alt-right motives. Yang himself has disavowed these groups, saying he wants no support from and nothing to do with white nationalists and other varieties of shitlords. He sounds a lot better to me than Trump, so I guess if you guys are gonna elect another meme as president, it may as well be Yang.
If you have any thoughts on this besides “$1000”, I’d be interested to hear it.
Some of the edgy 4chan folks are supporting Yang because they are economically marginalized. The Yang campaign is far more than that though. We have folks from all over the political spectrum supporting Andrew. Everything from former Trump supporters to progressive liberals to everything in between. If Yang were to run against Trump he would win hands down due to his wide appeal.

I was at Yangs DC rally recently over 3000 people showed up the people I talked to were all over the political spectrum also on Twitter and Facebook the pro Yang people represent every political background. Yang is a much stronger candidate than any other Dem in the field due to his unifying potential. I understand you are a strong Sanders backer and I respect that. I was backing Sanders until a few months ago. He is still my second choice but I believe Yang has a much better vision for the country and much wider support.

Just because 2% of Democrats support him doesn't mean he'd beat Trump.
If you've been following this thread, you'd know that Bernie also has support from some members of the right.

Polling is all well and good but it really only tells us what Boomers with landlines think an ever shrinking demographic. Remember all the polls said Trump had a 95 percent chance to lose on election night. The primaries are still months away lots of time for Yang to keep climbing.

IMO there is no chance he will finish in the top 5. But like you say, it's early. I think Bill Clinton was still nationally unknown at this stage of the election cycle.

Yes indeed also Trump was polling at lower than Yang at this point in the race back in 2015. I was just at Yangs DC rally thousands of people came out that is not normal this early in the primary cycle. Apart from Bernie Yang is drawing big crowds.

It would be interesting to see him as a running mate if for nothing more to watch conservatives cry "socialism."
I doubt it will happen though. NPR is already pushing establishment candidates and touting Biden's lead over Bernie, so candidates like Yang don't stand a chance.

fuck I didn't know people over 64 don't get the 1,000
that's probably going to stop my parents from voting for him because they could really use that but they'll both be over 64 by 2020

Don’t know much about yang but his supporters seem extra stupid with their memes.

Yang has a fired up and devoted following due to his excellent policies and wonderful personality. If all you see are memes you aren't looking hard enough. Also I see your in DC I was just there at Yangs rally thousands of people showed up it was great.

That's pretty much all that koods' threads are anymore. Name calling, without any real arguments to back it up.
