I wish some candidate would just come up with the idea to make the lobbying business illegal, as it should be.

Andrew Yang is this candidate.

https://www.yang2020.com/policies/pay-president-regulators/

Could make the argument to expand this to more than just executive branch to much of all senators and representatives.

He also has talked about "democracy dollars" to look up that Kirsten Gillibrand has followed suit to talk about to push as well.

He's also for adding 18 year terms to supreme court justices instead of life time appointments.

Andrew Yang is the best candidate in 2020.

I don't think this guy is gonna make any real showing.

Of course not, lol! Even the residents of his own city consider him a failure.

He’s certainly the best (D) candidate since Obama. In a legit primary him and Tulsi would lead the field.

But the DNC will crush him unfortunately. Hes not messing around with that divisive identity nonsense that privileged lefties worship, and is sticking with issues that can and frequently do appeal to all people. Some of points will need to be adjusted to reality, but he seems to get the persuasive approach that Obama and Trump have.

Hope he learns from the inevitable screwjob he will get (unlike Barnie) and runs either independent or (R) in 2024

Yang is trash who tries to put a 'cool' and approachable/moderate rhetorical spin on countless massive government programs and extreme ignorance.

No amount of pandering and word salad will make me support a hyper-authoritarian leftist.

Lets start going down the list for the aptly named 'yang gang'-

1. Gun Control

Heavy.

"a stringent, tiered licensing system for gun ownership"

"I’d start fining gun manufacturers $1 million for each person killed by their weapons. "

Ban ownership of semi-automatic firearms for people who don't have a tier-1 license for over a year and then pass a state-mandated course.
Also banned for everyone under 21, because apparently 18-20 year old adults dont deserve to be able to defend themselves and their families.
Mandate purchase of a gun locker or trigger lock for all firearms and must provide a receipt to the government.
Ban standard 'high capacity' magazines.
National firearms registry.
Use stolen funds to buy 'back' firearms
Use stolen funds to help create tech to prevent non-owners from firing weapons(fingerprint-id type stuff), with the explicit intent to make it a federal requirement once its developed to his tastes.



This is automatically disqualifying for any candidate, but thats just the tip of the iceberg
