The robots are a big problem, folks. They're taking all our jobs. And when the scientists send us their robots, they're not sending us their best. They're bringing crime, they're bringing drugs. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good robots.

Fighting technological advancement to save dying industries? Sounds like a plan that works!

It’s amazing to see my fellow “Liberal Democrats”, so eager to see corporations fire all their workers and replace them with robots. Are you guys so desperate to get donations from the tech industry that your willing to through your base of Nonwhite and Poor people under the bus (most of these people work at service jobs that will be eliminated by automation) in order to prevent the DNC from going bankrupt (it’s already halfway their). This level of hypocrisy and Moral bankruptcy makes me want to join the Green Party (at least they stand for something), However, I would never do that because as much as the hypocrisy of Democrats annoys me, it’s Knowhere near as terrible as the downright Facism that defines the modern Republican Party.

First of all, wow grammar.
Second, all we're saying is that trying to stop automation (aka natural technological advancement) by government force is never going to work and will just backfire. We need job training and creation of jobs in new industires (clean energy, tech etc). Also, at some point in the future, we will need UBI because theres just no way to keep enough jobs for everyone in a modern world. This is just the way it is, and woe to those who try to stop science by force. They'll only bring themselves ruin.

From the thread title/posts in this thread I didn't expect this to be such a solid campaign video.  It's a lot less "fear-mongering robots are taking our jobs" campaign and more of a "We need Universal Basic Income to help offset the job losses due to automation."

Unfortunate to see a campaign focused on Universal Basic Income to be quickly mocked as a "robot apocalypse" campaign.  Clearly it's a long shot campaign and he's likely not going to be elected president; but that's more due to him being politically inexperienced with no name recognition, not due to the campaign issues he's running on.

Wow, I actually just had time to watch it too, and this is really not a campaign about trying to foolishly stop technology like some posters here suggested, but UBI. While I don't think that it's the right time for this program and won't support Young, this video is very, very well-done.

Yang did go on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson. Also his UBI platform probably appeals to a lot of 'white people have been left behind' people (I don't know, I'm not a white supremacist). Who the hell knows.

edit: lol. warning, confusing racism in the links below:
