Unfortunately Andrew Yang has dropped out of the race

Andrew Yang, a New York businessman whose unusual presidential campaign rose to prominence with a plan to give Addressing I am announcing I am suspending my campaign for president."

Yang, 45, launched his bid for the presidency in late 2017.

A lawyer turned entrepreneur and author of a book called "The War on Normal People," Yang appealed to voters by warning of the ills of technology— including automation and artificial intelligence. Yang's plan for a universal basic income— the $1,000 a month check that he dubbed the "Freedom Dividend"— served as a bedrock for his larger vision for fixing a society deeply sickened by capitalism.

"Democrats still have not asked themselves the hard questions as to how Donald Trump won in 2016," Yang said in December. The party is acting like "Trump is the cause of all our problems. He’s a symptom and we need to cure the underlying disease."

Mental health was among his top campaign priorities, and he often spoke about the suicide and substance abuse crises in America.

After he qualified for the first Democratic presidential primary debate last June, Yang said he was hoping he could stand next to former Vice President Joe Biden "so the country can Google, 'Who's the Asian man next to Joe Biden?' and then they will discover Andrew Yang."

Yang attracted progressives, libertarians and disaffected Republicans to his campaign with a message of working across party lines and said he would urge his supporters to vote against Trump.

I do agree with his apprehension of AI and some technology...put handing out a 1,000$ is laughable...put people to work for minimum wage for 60 to 70 hours a week instead. There a 168 hrs in a week, work 65 hrs at 9 bucks a hour that's 585 per week 2,500+ a month. And that still leaves 56 hours to sleep a total of 8 hours a day. So working 65 hours a week sleeping 56 hours for a total of 121 hrs taken up with work an and sleep and you still have 47 hours to Fudge off in Leisure time.....Now you know why I think the poor are Lazy shiftless and irresponsible.

Trump is a Response and cure for to many with a handout and to many being entitled and not producing. Free everything....is not Free.

Wal mart was one of the first to start self check out. Now they are now testing automated fabric cutting machines in their fabric departments, in some markets. You just put in the fabric you want, punch in how many yards you want and it cuts it. Who would have thought it. I thing machines will one day replace us all. Hell spam bots can even post on message boards.

I would vote for anyone who wants to give me a $1000 a month, and not give a damn where the money comes from. Both parties spend and add to the national debt, we give tax cuts to the wealthy, so why should I care where the money comes from, I'm not going to be around when the bill comes past due anyway!!!!!

Yangs idea of universal income is a terrible idea. I hope its gone.
At the same time it didn't go well for him when the Clinton policy of safe and rare exceptions in the abortion issue.
Not that there is a safe abortion. The baby dies and the mother is damaged. This does not mean I'm necessarily against all abortions but I do object to the Ralph North. interpretation.

That makes you a Dem according to one of your colleagues that posts on this site. He said without exception if you believe in abortion you are a Dem.

 

[Expect2Win]

I am disappointed that Yang is gone. I was looking forward to the extra $2,000 a month.

It works for Alaska, you know, the great female hope for the GOP Sarah Palin's state.

Ehh. That's a rigid definition by my colleague. Rape, incest, severely deformed...I'd have to soul search that. I don't like celebrating abortion and I would never advise a person I cared for to get an abortion under typical circumstances.

Yeah massive oil reserves help.

I think at a micro level or a Libertarian level some of these ideas are phenomenal.

If Colorado wanted to offer free tuition to state schools and use the weed money to subsidize it, more power to them.

If Alaska wants to give UBI because the state has tremendous natural resources, go right ahead.

It's not a terrible idea, it's a misguided idea that is the result of socialist ideology and a scarcity mentality.

Unlike Warren Yang has the class to drop out and not take people's money for a failed campaign. Props.

Why should anybody drop out after 2 races? Bill Clinton lost his first 4 and went on to get the nomination. Anybody that has enough money to continue through super Tuesday should do so. At least by then there has been some states that actually have non white folks voting and you get an idea where you stand.

She's from Mass. NH should have been hers. She's done. I would not drop out either, because I have an ego too. Consolidating the middle road is the problem, we already have a top-heavy radical squad.

Not with Bernie the race, he won it last time and as you can see the more moderate folks have been getting one 50% of the vote so far so Pete has stayed ahead of the more lefties in the race so far. If Biden doesn't do well really in Nevada and win SC I'd say he's done.

I think he is done now! He should be done now. He has lost a few steps. I liked him. He isn't who he was and it's time to ride off into the sunset.

At a macro level, it still could be done. It needs to be a dividend like Alaska. It should not be just a handout. And I like that if you are already getting $1000 of assistance you don't get anything else. He isn't disincentivizing work. Putting it back into the economy here would be great. Giving it to people who aren't going to buy stock with it, but instead but clothes, food, autos.

Bill Clinton didn’t finish out of the top 6 in his first 2 races.

 

[Expect2Win]

I think 3R was meaning Warren shouldn't drop out yet. She hasn't finished 7 or higher yet.

Warren probably should see how Nevada goes begore deciding but spoiler alert, she is done.

BTW Trump had 118,000 votes yesterday. The previous record for an incumbent was Bill Clinton with 76,000. Obama had 49,000 in his re-election campaign.

I didn't realize that there were that many russians registered in New Hamp

they migrated from Alaska before it gets sold back.

But he didn't win any races either. People are calling for folks to bail right now that haven't even had a chance to see what they can do in states with a little diversity in their population.
Like I said, if Biden doesn't do real well in Nevada and WIN in SC he should probably give it up and let Pete and Amy fight it out with the leftie loonies.

I just saw on TV that Bloomberg will be in the primaries starting with Nevada. That could push Bernie over the top because all four of the more moderate folks may split the votes up between each other to where none of them can actually win at all.

Four years ago everyone was fighting to be the "not Trump" and Trump kept piling up delegates until it was too late to beat him. Looks like the same thing here. In order to keep Bernie from being the guy, Warren has to stay in and steal Bernie votes and the rest need to get out leaving one to go at Bernie without splitting votes. Don't think either is gonna happen though.

We can trust our political system to manage things. Trust them, they know.

This could be different in that Trump had a lot of winner take all states.

There could be a number of states that Bernie wins but only gets 35-40% of three delegates. If he doesn’t get half then there is the potential to screw him in the second round vote with the Superdelegates. I have little doubt though that Bernie is going to have at least a plurality of the delegates and wouldn’t be surprised if Bloomberg is 2nd.

Clinton didn’t have less than 10% of the vote in any state. Biden can stay in but he is only helping Bernie. He isn’t going to be the nominee.
