    Well, Thomas - Yang is getting no traction on his proposals from the dem base. He is pro nuke. That's one dem non-starter. I have no idea why an educated black is a dem. Perhaps you can explain it to me. Phu*ck, you can't even explain why you are a dem.

    He’s now in 4th place. Going up against 3 candidates with decades of name recognition. Maybe this is where it ends for him, but he keeps trending up.

    I’m pro nuke. Not sure that’s the non-starter you insist it is. But then, I’m not a Dem.

    He seems to appeal to independents, libertarians, working class and young voters. Traditional Dems will fall in line to defeat Trump. If he gets the nomination I guarantee he will win thanks to his broad appeal. But the DNC is probably gonna force Biden.
    Not sure about that.

    I like Yang for, dare I say, his comportment significantly more than his policies.
    UBI is actually popular in lots of libertarian circles as an alternative to the federal welfare bureaucracy.
    Yang’s UBI plan is opt in, but doing so requires you to forfeit other programs (welfare). It’s also easier to administer since there no army or bureaucrats needed to test and verify eligibility requirements repeatedly.

    Small government libertarians should LOVE UBI compared to our current set up.

    It’s also just better. Let people decide for themselves what the money should be spent on to improve their lives.
    IF there's a corresponding reduction in bureaucrats, The Throbber is IN.

    But if this is just add-on/new department/no RIF of gubmint teet sucking bureaucrats, hard pass.

    That said, Jake Browning still sucks.

    100% agree. I like UBI as a more efficient model for social safety net programs. I don’t like it as an add on to the current system
    See, even the Throbber can get out on the end of the bell curve every once in a while reasonably.

    You want to swing by the Guns and Religion Compound later for some shooting and bible verses?

    I’m currently stoned out of my mind so I’d better stay away from dangerous stuff like Bible verses.
    That’s when they’re the most enlightening.

    Pretty sure JC was on peyote with a few of the parables too. Camels thru eye of a needle. That’s some serious hallucinogens taking.

    I'm not surprised he is moving up

    I predicted it before pup did

    He separated himself with the no tie and UBI and by not being deranged about Trump

    The Wall separated Trump in 2016

    You gotta have a hook and Yang does

    It would be a better general election than Biden could put up

    I have also been in favor of writing checks to people in need rather than the bullshit we have now

    But he would need to convince me he won't crash the economy like the rest of the ass clowns running on higher taxes and fucking up energy

    UBI as a replacement is something I could get behind.
    Take all the excuses off the board, produce or die.

    1000.00 dollars won't replace the up to 65K a year in, some places, that one can obtain via all the social "safety nets".
