Andrew Yang über die "Democrats" in den USA und ihre Elitenorientierung

Andrew Yang says Democrats need to improve their appeal to the working class: "In there minds the Democratic party unfortunately has taken on this role of the coastal urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life." pic.twitter.com/UljmEH0sEn

"The idea that people will be irresponsible with their money..."

The idea that poor people will be irresponsible with their money, and squander it, seems to be a product of deep-seated biases rather than emblematic of the truth.

"I have been skeptical of the UBI..."...

I have been skeptical of the UBI, because I feared it concedes the inevitability of a future without stable employment which is preventable.

Then the pandemic came and started to change my mind.

And @AndrewYang persuaded me of another thing here: pic.twitter.com/9O2H8vmFJN

The surprising, enduring relevance of @andrewyang and his ideas. How one of the most fringe candidates in the race spearheaded the UBI movement that may rescue the American economy in this pandemic. My latest: https://t.co/WjlqRgTBi6 #YangGang

President Trump and the Freedom Dividend

BREAKING: Pres. Trump and Treasury Sec. Mnuchin say they're looking into sending Americans checks for $1,000 each to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus. They've released no details yet, but the idea echoes Andrew Yang's call for a universal 'Freedom Dividend' pic.twitter.com/P69bA3Ja24

Andrew Yang "If a candidate were to make a significant commitment"...

Andrew Yang: "I made clear to every other candidate that I ran on a set of issues (automation, human-centered economy, $1,000 a month). If a candidate were to make a significant commitment in those directions, then I'd be much more enthusiastic about considering an endorsement." pic.twitter.com/S64PzNAkT1

Slightly misunderstood: "an economy that works for working people" - and those not working?

Thank you, @AndrewYang. I look forward to fighting alongside you to build an economy that works for working people. pic.twitter.com/hOc0FaLNzT

Robert Reich "personal thank you to Andrew Yang"

A personal thank you to Andrew Yang, who contributed to America's understanding of the need for a Universal Basic Income, and conducted himself as a straight-talking, thoughtful, and respectful presidential candidate. Andrew, I hope we'll see much more of you in the future.

"Andrew Yang suspended his campaign tonight"

.@AndrewYang suspended his campaign tonight, but I think this remains true. The #YangGang shifted the Overton Window in some big ways: UBI, Asian-American candidates, bipartisanship, evidence-based policy, math/science, and more. A landmark run. #NHPrimary2020 #Yang2024 https://t.co/MLxxOyg6xG

...Universal Basic Income is missing - what about it?

Reminder of what people are calling the “radical, extreme-left agenda”:

✅ Medicare for All
✅ A Living Wage & Labor Rights
✅ K-16 schooling, aka Public Colleges
✅ 100% Renewable Energy
✅ Fixing the pipes in Flint
✅ Not Hurting Immigrants
✅ Holding Wall Street Accountable

"...focus on solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected"...

“We need to focus on solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected in the first place, and Democrats are making a mistake by acting like Trump caused all of these problems. He’s the symptom.” - Presidential candidate Andrew Yang speaks to CNN's @ChrisCuomo from New Hampshire pic.twitter.com/Z00NLRYrBe

...das ließe sich auf die jüngere Diskussion in Deutschland nach den Vorgängen in Thüringen auch sagen, statt diese "problems" zu übergehen.
