Also mal ganz ehrlich, können die #Demokraten nicht einfach #AndrewYang anstelle von #JoeBiden aufstellen?
@ManyRoads
You're right
And with so many posters on Mastodon having many views on #berniesanders #andrewyang #aoc #newsom #ericswalwell #elizabethwarren ... What we need is #rankedchoicevoting 
BUT WE HAVE DON'T HAVE THAT and we have the #electoralcollege
enuff of your mittens, I mean, damn emails, I mean #Biden bashing!
#Trump is a #demagogue and #pathologicalliar and it’s time to stop the bickering and nit-picking
#LloydDoggett, a Texas Democrat, has called for President #JoeBiden to withdraw from the #2024 election, citing concerns over Biden's performance and the need for a stronger candidate to face #Trump. Democrats like #AndrewYang and journalist #NicholasKristof echo this sentiment, suggesting that Biden's debate performance indicates a need for new leadership within the party. They propose potential replacements such as Governor #GretchenWhitmer and Senator #SherrodBrown.

For one year, low-income families in Austin, Texas, received $1,000 a month to do whatever they wanted; they spent it on rent and “substantially" improved their situations.

#BillAckman poured huge pile of $$ into #DeanPhillips campaign. And then Ackman “educated” Phillips. (Author calls Phillips “malleable”.) After which Phillips then deleted #DEI reference from campaign website. #AndrewYang is another “educator”. And — (my comment) with dismal showing in NH against someone whose name didn’t appear on ballot — apparently Phillips is now considering third-party candidacy.

A society overflowing with guns and drugs. Politicians who would rather cater to the extreme fringes of their parties instead of the country as a whole.

@Mathemagician @brainwane Apologies. The mathematical context of the toot was as an analogy, which was explained. The hashtag #MATH is also used in political contexts, beginning with #AndrewYang , and means ‘Make America Think Harder’. Again, sorry for the appropriation.

@bvalimont no. Andrew Yang’s cult who refuses to call out the extremism of the far right by both siding things. You will help them win you cultists. #andrewyang cult

Not coming out as soon as you thought, but still coming soon. Some of them are already on the road. And Covid gave the logistics industry a huge "shove" to get going with them. (Post-Covid, there are still issues with finding enough drivers.)
Tesla was one of the major forces for them, but now Elon is distracted with his new toy.
The biggest obstacles are laws in some states that do not allow #SelfDrivingVehicles.

@moira also a reminder that #AndrewYang hung out and endorsed the #IntellectualDarkWeb
@thehill @edgeoforever I am ashamed (but grateful for the learning opportunity) to have wasted my 2020 California primary vote on #AndrewYang.
From #ArizonaForward:
The Forward Party is here to build a new era in American politics. Join us in Phoenix to learn more and meet hundreds of your fellow Forward thinking Arizonans.

#AndrewYang , during the #Democratic Primaries, repeatedly touted the need for a #UniversalBasicIncome / #UBI to make up for how tech will eventually put too many people out of work. I have some disagreements on some of his ideas, but he did make a point:
We're living through the #FourthIndustrialRevolution . We need to ask ourselves what kind of life we want next for ourselves, then start asking big data to pay more and give us more control over our own data.

It does concern me when I see people call this (guaranteed income and MLK's vision) UBI and give Andrew Yang credit he doesn't deserve, as Mary Louise Kelly did here. Yang's proposal, like most UBI proposals, was to give everyone the same amount of money, no matter how much wealth or income they already had. I don't think that's what MLK was proposing. I strongly oppose it.

I wonder if #AndrewYang and friends are thinking about the number of independents in trying to make their new political party. My sense is that the effort will be largely pointless thanks to the collusion of Dems and the GOP, but also I don't think independents necessarily have anything that ties them together.

How are people surprised that the #Democrat party is the party of the elite and the #GOP is the party of the people?
Have y'all forgotten how hard the #Democrat party fought against #Trump, who's about as close to a people's person as you could get in modern politics today, as he's not and never will be a #DC politician? Have y'all forgotten how the #Democrat party rigged their primary elections (stealing the nomination from #BernieSanders in 2016 and sabatoging #TulsiGabbard and #AndrewYang's campaigns since the first debate), while the #GOP just let things be? Have y'all forgotten that the #Democrat party constantly raises taxes and adds regulations to the American people?
