    1. @Brian Daniels When Yang was 12 years old, he scored a 1220 out of 1600 on the SAT. Yeah, the guy is gifted.

    2. Now that Yang has failed miserably in Iowa with ZERO delegates won, will Yangsters start to think about choosing a second choice?

  1. You can’t stop climate change. All we can do is try to adapt to it like our Neanderthal ancestors before us

    1. Exactly. Neanderthals spread a little of their DNA and then got extinct.

      Homo sapiens have adapted, but got comfortable and have stopped moving forward. People are scared of change. They think “green” means going back to living in a hut with no luxury.
      1st world nations have been selfish.. We upgraded to secure, safe lives, yet some people on the planet still live like our ancestors did in 1770s, wood burning stoves, cooking over fire, candle light at night, crapping in a hole in the ground, and bathing and drinking in a river.

      The US should have upgraded long ago and instead of warring with people, bringing them infrastructure would have won hearts and minds and would have produced peace, not terrorists.

    2. Well we don’t have to add to it either I think that’s more the problem adding fuel to the fire obviously nature is going to take its course but you can’t stop it but slow the process I think that’s adapting

  2. Yang is the only one out of the CNN townhalls today to have positive comment sections. What does that mean America? #Yang2020 #YangGang

    1. @Hongster Hong You could say the same for literally every other candidate. It just so happens that more of his supporters than others, take it spin themselves to spread his message, especially since he has has so little media coverage.

  3. The only person who makes sense in the Dems Candidates is Yang. The rest don’t know what they talking about

  4. By far the smartest guy amoung bunch of democratic candidates. Probably the smartest US President if ever get elected. Good luck!

    1. @DrJosper Hey, I’m not specifically against UBI. I’m against deceiving Americans about it (much because they just haven’t explored the issues deeply enough). People are so excited about the $1,000 a month but the devil is in the details. Bernie’s Medicare For All will save families more than that, along with free college and trade schools. Yang doesn’t support Medicare For All either although he leaves it up on his website AND THAT IS DECEPTIVE.

    2. @Kedi Mendez Hey regardless who you support, at least we are all fighting for the same thing … to eliminate big-money in our politics who have bought off most of our politicians (both parties). I wish you well in your revolution and regardless this video will make you believe in our people and this country in only 2 minutes: https://youtu.be/OythsfCi6JA The second is Michael Moorer who really NAILS THE ISSUES we all face and if you aren’t IGNITED afterwards then you’re dead, hahha: https://youtu.be/Zb3D5BlGdcA

    3. Occam’s Razor you proceed to tell me we fight for the same thing but towards the end, you tell me that I’m dead. What’s wrong with you? Being president is about uniting the people, No Democrats agree with trump and no republicans agree with Bernie. Andrew yang has the most all round votes from different groups and I believe he can help this country forward

  5. Yang is one of the few candidates on the Democrats side who has a shred of sanity. Which is why the elites in charge of the party will not let him win.

    1. Occam’s Razor he supports Medicare for all and for anyone who prefers a private insurance policy, they’ll have that choice as well.

    2. @bluesrockfan36 said, “His UBI will eradicate poverty.” hahhh! Well now you surely must be joking!! 500,000 people are living on the streets and, only if they have NO other assistance, you give them $1,000 a month, they STILL CAN NOT LIVE … that is below poverty. Really, your responses are revealing your utter lack of study. Shameful.

    3. @bluesrockfan36 By the way, the Federal Jobs Guarantee (part of the Green New Deal) does not ‘make people slaves of the government’. For those who WANT to work, jobs will be provided along with training, education … into new green technology, skilled labor etc but people don’t HAVE to work. But millions of Americans would LOVE THAT CHANCE. And with Bernie increasing the minimum wage to $15 which effects 40% of Americans, our economy will be even better than it was after FDR’s New Deal which pulled us out of the worst depression in history.

  6. Andrew Yang is a RARE GIFT to our society. And he is offering himself to us. Don’t waste this treasure, America!!! #Yang2020 #HumanityFirst

    1. @Chadillac Yang’s ideas (especially freedom dividend) are actually considered pretty libertarian, and some of them were actually proposed by republican leaders before. He doesn’t want to give the money to the gov; he wants to give it straight to people with less gov bureaucracy with money generated mostly with our own data and our own consumer activities (VAT). i.e. less gov control; and more individual freedom over our money. And he’s an ex-business man who is a capitalist. Good ideas don’t have to be so partisan, my friend. So let’s stop with that nonsense. Don’t take my word for it; why don’t you see it for yourself what libertarians are saying: https://www.libertarianism.org/columns/libertarian-case-basic-income

    2. Now that Yang has failed miserably in Iowa with ZERO delegates won, will Yangsters start to think about choosing a second choice?

  7. Americans aren’t the only ones who need this brilliant mind & humanitarian, the entire 🌎 needs him…Help our Planet so our future generations have hope 🙏

    1. Brilliant speech & intelligent replies. Good or not, he sounds more like academic than (conventional) politician. Diversity is a huge asset of America. Diversity means a person like him! All the good for him, good luck!

    2. @bee kind hopefully so, but I can’t be optimistic honestly under the current situation. It’d take time for such a fantastic candidate to be appreciated properly …

    1. @Ronald Dang Come on now, we all know Pete is corrupt, but let’s not belittle our fellow Americans based on who they support. We should be having respectful discussions, not tearing each other’s throats out.

  8. Mr. Yang will be the only reason why I stand in the long endless to cast my vote. He is the only candidate that makes sense across the board.

    1. Are you talking about the poll that’s completely rigged after all the numbers came out all wrong and hence the reason for the delay?

    1. @Sir John Berry Socialist? You must be very old to believe that horseshit. Anyone under 40 doesn’t give a rip about that dumbass label. What the American people care about is Medicare For All, free college and trade schools and MOST IMPORTANTLY The Green New Deal. Yang gets a D- from Green Peace and they and The Sunrise Movement endorse Bernie because of his policy which is the strongest stance against climate change.

    2. @riikerman The appeal of Bernie is his POLICIES … remember policies? I don’t care if our candidate is man or woman, gay or straight, old or young, colored or white … WE THE PEOPLE care about the policies and Bernie blows everyone else out of the water. If you don’t want to help then step aside; we’ll do it without you. And you’ll still get the benefit of Bernie’s policies.

  9. By far, the most brilliant candidate. Policies based on data, not ideology. Tackles issues proactively, not retroactively. #YANG2020

    1. He may tackle issues ‘proactively not retroactively’ but it’s too bad he doesn’t tackle issues LOGICALLY.

    2. @riikerman You either have not read the policies, listened to long form interviews, or are not paying attention.

      I encourage that you try one of the above.

  10. Wow. I legit watch every video from the candidates. Yang is very solid on his stance. Like come on America wake up. I Changed parties to Democratic all thanks to Yang. America the rest is up to us! Don’t let me down.

  11. The audience didn’t clap after Yang told them why he is the best candidate to take on Trump because they are too busy thinking he might be right.

    1. Andrew Yang is the only one who has the most diverse coalition to destroy Trump in a landslide victory. All of the other candidates will either lose to Trump or eek out a small victory, which Trump & MAGA will for sure refuse to accept. And that’s gonna make things really ugly. Give Yang the nomination and we’ll have a peaceful transition. Here’s a video that lays out why #YangBeatsTrump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OBGT2Xiz1w&lc=z23pjtob1qzds3lja04t1aokg0alloyv01lzhcult5mprk0h00410

    2. Gordon Kwong it’s okay, they clapped plenty of other times. Watched the whole thing on Zach & Matt. I don’t know how anyone could watch multiple candidates answer these questions and not acknowledge that he’s the smartest person running in decades. Our whole country will benefit from a Yang presidency, not just a fraction of the country.

    3. I dont think most people understand non-biased vegas odds. It went right over their heads. Yang needs to dumb it down for the crowd a little more.
