And the sad thing is he is probably the most sane Dem running to date...they are truly a strange, growing group of nutjobs.
He took a stance about circumcision but does endorse a ban on it. He has positions and has stayed consistent. Can't call him a flip flopper quite yet.
Yang has said that he rejects support from white nationalists and anti-Semites. He also told The Daily Beast that while he wants parents to have more information about circumcision, he wouldn’t support a ban on practice.
But even just his recommendation that parents be told that they don’t have to circumcise their sons has won over intactivists. Chapin said Yang’s anti-circumcision stance is a perfect fit for his campaign motto, “Humanity First.”
“I think there’s nothing more inhumane than tying down a baby or a child and amputating a healthy, normal part of his body,” Chapin said. “So I just think that his campaign slogan is awesome.”
Suggesting attacks in the future is bold. Let's see his stance on it to a wider audience.
And he doesn’t endorse a ban...he did endorse using tax dollars to launch “education campaigns” against it. Sounds like another great way to spend tax dollars...maybe it will become his wife’s pet cause if he wins. Hell...I can picture the slogans now. If Yang himself is circumcised his wife’s slogan could be ‘Don’t cut your son’s yang the same way my husbands is’.
I like his style and some of his message. The Throbber LOVES the VAT tax (in conjunction with reduction, if not outright elimination of sales and property taxes). FUCKING loves the VAT tax.
The throbber also appreciates that Yang understands the "it's the economy, stupid" and appears to recognize the pie is not finite - that it can grow through innovation and entrepreneurship.
That said (and Jake Browning still sucks except for his girlfriend's luscious titties), he won't win if he keeps pushing the social agenda of the left. Keep it down the middle of the fairway on comments related to race, sex, masturbation, etc. Focus on $$$ and how it affects everyday Joe's regular life.
But Dems hate to win so he won't.
