all I hear is tulsi/yang 2020

in your personal circles?

nah I'm just shilling for my favorite two

I'm in a little mountain community full of country Trump supporters and info warriors in one area and hippy/mountain folk in another that either stay outta politics or are just against Trump as a general policy

A part of the young and impetuous will become mature and cautious. People change before dying, don't be dumb.

I see.

From my experience, Tulsi and Yang are more popular among young conservatives on the internet than among actual Democrats.
They both have several traits which make them attractive or at least acceptable even to conservatives, and they are both appealing very strongly to young folks who use the internet a lot.

I dont think they would appeal to the 50 y/o union member from Pittsburgh or the progressive college activist from San Jose very much.

I'd say they are more popular among reasonable people that actually research the positions of candidates rather than just go off party or a bunch of exaggerated nonsense from the right and left

tulsi nails foreign policy and has incredible composure and class and is strong on anti-war stances but has a very articulate and productive approach to it as opposed to nonsense rhetoric that often accompanies the position
yang has economy and appeals to poor people not just areas of poor people and is the one person that is both on target for the future but also reasonable

both candidates are smart, knowledgeable and conduct themselves with integrity and avoid many of the political traps

by far the best candidates for a country that is increasingly wanting less war and also facing automated destruction of poor communities

also would be the greatest breath of fresh air after a President like Trump

They have about no chance of realistically winning and the country and voters will be responsible for passing up something special and instead going once again with a person like Trump or someone not a whole helluva lot better from the democrats

a real shame

Yang/Gabbard would easily snatch a large segment of voters across the spectrum.

‘Problem’ is they cannot be controlled, being more independent younger versions of Barnie so they’d be crushed immediately by the (D) powers that be if they gained any traction

It really doesn't matter whether they appeal or not. They have about as much chance of winning as Kim Jong Un does. :/

They have a worse chance than Kim Jong Un

Kim would have the President's endorsement and the support of much of his fanbase

I totally agree with your assessment of their qualities and agendas, but I still think you overestimate their appeal to segments of the electorate which are vey different from us d2jsp users.
