Andrew Yang 2020 campaign megathread

[°Leprechaun]

Perhaps none of the candidates deserve sticky threads. Since the decision to do so is arguably arbitrary anyway. The most popular candidates will get more responses anyway, so it isn't like any of the currently stickied threads are going to go away, if they becoming less "sticky"

The top tier candidates, probably have the best chance of winning, although lower tier candidates could move up eventually since there is a long way on the road to Iowa.

I don't expect Yang to drop out anytime soon. I don't have a favorite candidate, and so I am happy to wait until 4/28 to chose one, since the number of candidates who by then have a shot  at this will have dwindled considerably.

I do think that UBI is something worth talking about, since it levels the playing field considerably on our planet where the wealthy have too much money, and therefore too much power.

Other than Warren, Yang seems the most likely to rise, as doubts about Biden, Bernie, Harris, and Buttigieg may been in the cards.

If he does rise, I can see a "stickie" for him in our future.

Has he peaked? Will he decline soon? Will him stay where he is in the polls, or has he yet to rise?

Bump

[NYSforKennedy2024]

The fact that Kamala's thread is still stickied but this one isn't is objectively stupid.

Mods pls, Yang Gang is fourth/fifth place nationally. It's time.

Honestly, neither of them should be stickied. There’s at least 10 points separating them from Bernie, and like 15-20 from Warren and Biden.

Biden is quite literally Dead Man Walking, so what the  basically.

That may well be the case. But even if he does lose most of his supporters, none of them are going to Yang.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

I’m not gonna stop bumping this thread until it is sticked.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Tomorrow’s the debate! Let’s go Yang! You got this! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Why don’t news networks include Yang in their fundraising graphics? He is raising more money than almost all Candidates.

[YE]

Test (again, trying to set up a megathread here by merging threads to make candidates past easy to keep track of and reduce clutter and it needs to be bumped in order for it to be done most easily).

[Arizona Iced Tea]

Yang is probably the best Democratic Candidate this election, if not the best candidate of the whole election. I like him even more than Trump sometimes. I have a few questions though:
1) Does he even have a shot to win the primary?
2) What is his best strategy to get the nomination, what candidates need to go down for him to rise?  
3) If nominated, how will he fare against Trump?

I think Trump would be DOA if Yang is the nominee, but that's just my take.

Edit: Common idea is that Yang has literally no shot, but could he become VP on a ticket?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

No. Sorry, I know it's a funny phase to go through, but he's not winning s**t.

[ElectionsGuy]

No. The best he can do is bring light to his issues, and it's arguable that he's already done that.

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

His only path to the nomination involves winning one of the early states while placing top 3 in every pre-Super Tuesday state and then showing out on ST. Not happening.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

No. There’s absolutely 0 chance. It’s more likely the 22nd gets repealed between now and the Iowa Caucus ballot deadline, Obama hops in, and wins the nomination.

[It’s so Joever]

He has a chance, a .000000000000000000000001% chance.

[SN2903]

No

[ProudModerate2]

No wonder. Your standards are very low.
And "No." He has zero chance.

[PSOL]

1. Absolutely not, he is a flip flopper on immigration and border security, along with being a very weak debater. If he ever rises to some prominence, he’d be skewered by attack ads of which he’ll have no effective counterattacks.
2. Andrew Yang needs to get middle class liberals to like him, effectively the base of the Democratic Party, while polling well with African Americans and Latinos. The issue is that he has no credentials to sway any group apart from millennial coders and edgy youth looking for a grand. Most likely he’ll be pulling from Elizabeth Warren and Biden.
3. He would lose badly. Again, the man has no ability to excite people, nor is he an effective debater. Expect a Trump landslide unless he works his chops off.

Are you looking at the same polls I am? He was at 5% in Iowa and Nevada and that is Amoungst Landline voters.

I don’t know, he seemed strong last time. He was the only candidate where all statements were named truthful. He is the only candidate with real plans. Biden, Warren Sanders have no plans for anything but Yang Does.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Remember all, there is a 15% threshold in Iowa and every other state (mostly district based, but still), Yang is far below 15% in every state, not looking good....
