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
That's interesting, many of these are already in place in civilized countries. Seems like Yang is just picking up off of things that actually work instead of letting everyone do what they want.

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.
Indeed he really sounds like he is what the USA need right now. But as Cambovenzi pointed out, I have no idea what the rest of his agenda is so I'll take that with a grain of salt still.
