We want to SHOCK the establishment, the media, and everyone watching by launching a big ad buy on TV and online. *This is how we reach these voters and show everyone what this movement is all about.*
To shoot, produce, edit, and then air ads in early primary states online and on TV, we need to raise $1.5 million by the end of October. *Will you help us reach this goal and pitch in $5 or more?
Received this email from the Yang Gang!!!!

Step off with the group think.
For those who have eyes, let them see and those that have ears, to hear ...

Government jobs programs to replace private ones ... about that arrogant.
He did great in the interview although the interviewer seemed inexperienced, As if he was in a rush and couldn't segway between questions. Yang held his own and i wish he did more of these long-form interviews, Most politicians can't answer questions directly without notes or a teleprompter.
The interviewer came off as trying to contain his annoyance while trying to trap him or get a newsworthy incident out of a famously unflappable candidate.
Democratic voters have a pretty poor history of choosing their presidential nominees.
Yeah that's what I'm afraid of.
Those are "my people" in a sense and I know how they think; very in-the-box, they think the current system just needs a little nudge here and there but everything's fundamentally sound.

They have no idea it seems. Still.
Is it Democrat voters tho or outside forces trying to control the narrative?
I mean say what you will about Republicans, they are pretty fair in the electoral process in choosing their candidates. The media doesn't interfere, the GOP might have a favorite but as far as we know they don't try to influence how the campaigns go, hence us getting Donald Trump.
Now let's look at what happened in 2016. If the e-mail Wikileaks didn't happen people would still be ignorant to the DNC's meddling and colluding with the media.
If I remember right, in 2007 Clinton was doing the same thing vs Obama. She was having "secret" closed door meetings with members of the press. Unfortunately for her Obama was a much better candidate and she got trounced but then she tried and successfully got the media to help her in 2015, when we know Bernie had much more grassroots support. The establishment shut him out.

As long as they get rid of all their Socialist/Communist candidates, we might be ok. What a pity that so many uneducated people cannot see the disaster they could bring with this gang. Uneducated voters who never studied Socialism or Communism. Damned scarey.
Candidates need both 165,000 individual donors and to earn either 3% in four DNC-approved national polls or 5% in three approved early-state polls from Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
Just five candidates have already met both requirements, but more are on track to make the cut in the next few weeks, according to Politico's Democratic primary poll tracker.
So far, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, and Tom Steyer are confirmed to be on stage.
Yang qualified for Nov debate on Oct 8th.
Besides, news: he is going to have TV ads for the first time. The guys who did Bernie ad campaign for 2016 are now working for Yang's campaign.
He has good timing. There is a whole year left. Unlike the small bubbles like this subforum, most people don't really listen to any politics, except for Trump's antics and/or liberal fainting over it, which are both ubiquitous.
Point is people who actually bothered to listen to Yang for more than 10 minutes, want to listen to him some more. And when they do, many, perhaps even the majority of them become YangGang.
But let's just look back for a second and see who Andrew Yang has left behind, in spite of obvious media attempts to suppress him, extensively written about in this thread.

Q: How's your campaign changing the conversation about money and politics potentially as a positive thing, if you believe that; secondly how do you think at the core of it your ideology around money and capitalism differs from maybe some of your opponents like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren?
A: I like that question a lot ... 'Most of us agree at this point money and corporate money has over run our political system and so most people are looking for away to solve for that <snip> it's not a rules problem, it's a power problem'.

We have a 'pull yourself up by your own bootstrap' culture in America, that continued throughout the Great Depression, even with the joblessness state of the affairs then. The Government stepped in and paid, (which is still in effect today) the farmers not to farm. The farmers burned their crops in the fields and shot their cattle in order to reduce the amount of goods in the markets, so as to drive the market prices to a sustainable level. [rather than feed the hungry with the goods, the government solution?]
Now we have software doing the jobs of the people and reducing the amount of work available, in our capitalist market, with the 'pull yourself up by your bootstrap' culture in America. I do not see the bootstrap culture changing anytime soon. But as you say, listen to Yang 10 minutes and you'll want to hear more of what he has to say.
Yang lays out how to pay for it with no borrowing or printing of money. Thats why I'm voting for him he has a realistic plan to do UBI. Check out his website it addresses lots of common misconceptions people have. Also if your interested I can link you to some of his long form interviews where he really shines.
