The far bigger obstacle for Democrats is the Senate anyway. Winning the White House despite the GOP holding a 4% or so advantage in the Electoral College when compared with the national popular vote is still easier than winning a majority in the Senate once another red wave hits and sweeps away the Democratic red state incumbents.

With American politics increasingly aligned around the urban-rural divide, the GOP just holds a gigantic advantage in the Senate. In this sense, I feel like the current power balance is here to stay for the near and intermediate future: Democrats having an edge in the House, Republicans having an edge in the Senate, and the presidency being somewhere between 60:40 and 40:60 in almost all years.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election/democratic-debate-atlanta-andrew-yang-gang-ignored-harris-sanders-warren-latest-a9211586.html

Yang ignored for 30+ minutes at last night’s debate by the racist moderators at msnbc and wapo

Salience.

>says outliers should get the attention of everyone else
>makes fun of liberals for identity politics

Yang has ideas and policy positions beyond “drumpf bad” and “tax everyone more who isn’t me”

dealing with the effects of automation on american workers, technology races, harnessing more ai, utilizing nuclear energy, and a likely need for some level of ubi. problems and issues that will become a reality in the not-so distant future

of course this is not the kind of candidate you want: “not my problem” says the junior boomer skinned

Yang is a Trojan Horse

A person who supports universal healthcare coverage , tackling automation and economic poverty , using European models of taxation to get the rich to actually start paying taxes , making our energy infrastructure up to date and moving forward to have a stable energy sector off of fossil fuel and moving forward to tackle climate change , a vision of foreign policy of international cooperation and unity against authoritarian regimes and large ones of Russia/China to hold them to be accountable and prevent the war on data and coming AI war arms race that is already happening. Supporting policies to enrich the lives of all Americans and change the way we view our nation and look at our actual markers instead of GDP and whether or not somebody has a job. Supports public funded elections to get corruption and big money out of buying politics. He's even for gun control legislation which you should love. He is a pragmatic and reasoned guy who has spent the last 15 years of his life in a non profit to help small business owners and others find jobs in many states in the country.

So exactly how is he a Trojan horse?

sauci wants americans dumb so he can keep posting 'merica memes. if we learn math his PARD career is finished.

Yang isnt emphasizing "women, LGBTQ* and non-whites good; white males bad" enough to appeal to the contemporary Democratic party. A candidate having common sense and being successful with their base are mutually exclusive.

at least the black community only votes for people they believe in, aka Obama or no one.
