A month ago I would have said that Andrew Yang was my top candidate for next year’s election, but with very little chances of even making it to the primary debates.
The reason? Nobody knew him.
This is changing.
Mr. Yang has been killing it at the democratic debates all over the states now. No wonder his slogan is MATH (Make America Think Harder). Most of his campaign evolves around fresh ideas that no other democratic candidate is talking about (well, Joe Biden all of a sudden started mentioning AI and technology in some of his public appearances… What a coincidence). Not to say the Donald who is still apparently talking about walls and tariffs while kids keep dying in schools.
Anyhow, here are three things that make me want to vote for Andrew Yang.
- The Freedom Dividend – This is the all-start initiative of his campaign. No other candidate is supporting this initiative, which in my honest opinion, is crucial and will end up being a part of every developed country sooner or later. I won’t dig into it in this post as I’ve already written about it not too long ago. Here’s a post in which I explain why UBI (Universal Basic Income) is an urgent necessity.
- Gun control – A big chunk of people in the U.S. suffer from a disease. I like to call it the second amendment virus. This virus, unfortunately, has no cure and will never have a cure at this point. Too many ordinary citizens have been infected and they all present the same symptoms. You see, the second amendment virus makes people think that they should have a stockpile of assault rifles at home to make sure they can defend themselves from criminals and tyrannic governments. Yes, all of this, in the 21st century. The truth it, both reasonings are plain stupid. A tyrannic government doesn’t have a place in 21st century democracies. And you don’t need an AR-15 to defend yourself from a burglar. Just like every virus out there, the consequences of being infected are severe. You are condemned to watch kids at school, people at nightclubs and customers at shopping centers get murdered in cold blood. Andrew Yang wants to stop this.
- Immigration – Yes! Someone who actually understands that immigration doesn’t need to be a bad thing! In fact, immigration is an absolute requirement for a nation to be successful if you ask me. People that come into your country and become working citizens for your nation are a muscle and talent that you get to take from someone else! Most talented people from the US are either immigrants or sons/grandkids from immigrants. Including Andrew Yang himself. Please don’t let those “Mexicans are rapists” comments blind you.
- Extra: He wants to legalize weed and issue a massive presidential pardon to every person in-prisoned for a weed-related misdemeanor. I can’t believe we’ve had to wait till 2020 to make this a thing. And I can’t believe we’ll have to wait even longer if we don’t vote for Yang!
There are quite a lot of reasons why I consider Andrew Yang to be the best candidate for next year’s elections. Here is his website where you can checkout his full electoral program.
Ps. Tomorrow I will be emailing everyone in my list about my Bitcoin experience and portfolio. #YangGang
