    I really liked this speech. Something I found really entertaining was how the people on either side of him at the table were basically not interested at first. But as the speech continued they all started nodding despite themselves and by the end they were all into it.

    Take a look at it and tell us what you think of the speech.

    Thanks YouTube

    It's OK... I guess. But then, I'm already sold on the Andrew Yang.

    If it’s not between him and Tulsi I probably will sit this election out.
    I don’t know if I can bring myself to vote for any of the rest of them.

    But that is what we have to prevent, that is why Trump won, because so many dems were upset with Hillary as a choice that they stood home. We can't sit out the lesser of two evils, we must choose the lesser of two evils if a progressive does not get the nomination.

    Now I don't think that will be a problem next year as Trump's persona has cooled his support among independents, and none of the dems running are hated by dems as much as Hillary was. Well maybe Harris.

    Sadly, Tulsi is an enemy of the DNC. She'll never earn the nod from them.

    That's incorrect. Bernie is doing a WONDERFUL job dividing the DNC- much better than he did in 2016. Kamala is doing a fine job driving away Blue Voters (Biden lovers- which there are MANY).

    The Democrats don't realize how screwed this pool of candidates are. You won't realize it until about 20 years from now when it's published in history books (again after 2016 loss).

    How is Bernie dividing the democratic national committee? None of them want him.

    Exactly! Just like in 2016- he stole SO many blue votes from Hillary. Now, he's gaining more momentum. However, we all know the DNC will NEVER allow a Bernie so that's even more loss votes for Blue!

    Did you read Hillary's book "What happened"?

    Yeah, sure. Could not wait for it to get out. (sarcasm) And what are you talking about anyway. who cares if he got votes in the primary, that had no effect on the general election. The dems fielded a flaw candidate who did not even campaign in Wisconsin and barely spend any time in Michigan.

    It's amazing how both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton completely disagree with you. Sorry, you must be the expert.

    Yang is an interesting man. He's smart and forward thinking. Unfortunately, he's too far left for my tastes. And too much in lockstep with the radical left as far as calling President Trump a racist, divisive and so forth. Therefore Yang isn't at all a statesman as far as being able to reach across the isle.

    Why is calling Trump "a racist. divisive, and so forth" radically left. I thought that was just obvious. Yang does reach across the aisle. That is one of the many reasons he is one of the strongest candidates.

    Because it isn't true. It is a distortion of reality to whip up passion and empower the lefts war dance. It is uncivil and ignorant. They do this because it's a cheap and easy way to keep their followers in angry, ignorant lockstep. This is the divisiveness. Similarly, the accusations of racism are just them believing their own press. Anyway, I was truly disappointed to hear Yang banish intellect and echo the chant. I was similarly disappointed to hear every Republican candidate during the 2016 primaries kiss the anti abortion ring and promise to criminalize abortions even in cases of rape, incest or if the Mothers life were endangered. I can support being against abortion. But that's extremism. It would be like extending capital punishment to include torturing people to death.

    Corrupt Liberal Media Up to Old Tricks – Continues to Conceal Democrat Candidate Andrew Yang From Ads, Videos Despite His Top 6 Ranking

    In 2016 the Democrats and their liberal media rigged the Democratic primary away from Bernie Sanders.
    In 2020 it’s Andrew Yang.
