there is not better choice by a country mile. even if another DNC candidate talked about UBI at this point i'd ignore them. he went on Ben Shapiro as a leftist and had a polite hour long debate. he is the chosen one.

Andy Yang is the only person on the ballot who's trying to combat an incredibly complex issue, albeit with an overly simplistic approach. and for that he has my vote for 2020 and every race thereafter until someone else takes up the torch to combat automation.
while others are wasting time pandering to the black vote with pipe dreams of reparations that will never happen Yang wants to life everyone in an attempt to save the few who will direly need the lift up. it's a pretty masterful approach actually, like giving all the dogs cheese slices when only one has medicine in it. economically infeasible without Libertarian style slashes to govt assistance, but ambitious for sure.
Andy Yang's Ubi is pretty much an old school libertarian version. It's the only one who has any chance of being a reality in the near future. There's no way either party is going to tax the rich for this. I think Yang is pretty much a centrist and it does not surprise me that he's got some appeal to not too far from center righties. He's also male asian so he appears harmless/non-threatening because that's how they are perceived for better or worse.
