To be fair to Yang the MSM has claimed he either doesn't exist or his campaign is collapsing since the beginning. However the campaign burned lots of money in Iowa for only 9000 votes some issues were a lack of organization on the ground and inexperienced leadership not to mention DNC rigging in favor of Pete the rat. New Hampshire will be different and Yang will perform better however the clock is ticking and I personally think that New Hampshire will be the Yang Gangs last stand. If we get lower than top 4 I believe the campaign will limp along until it runs out of money and then Yang will try again in 2024.

If we get top 4 this will be a fresh cash infusion and anything could happen after that point.

But you may have missed the tens of millions of dollars his campaign has raised. Because the press has tried to supress that information. You may have missed the large and wide movement forming around this guy that has not only Americans, but people all over the globe, me being just one of them. You may have missed that youth poll in Iowa has him in the first place, even before Bernie. You may also have missed that the candidate Yang pushed some serious questions into the public and they are being widely discussed: universal basic income and democracy dollars as a way to get big donors out of politics. And I'm sure you havent read his book. Actually, I doubt you have listened to any of his long form interviews or townhalls. Feel free to watch the one above.

Instead you come to this thread, and shout this 1% twice, as if it says anything meaningful at all. It is a result of a weird and antiquated process, with even weirder mathematics going on, counted with a collapsing app, partly paid for by another candidate. Even in all the tragically ridiculous mess that is nothing but a circus for MSM to feast on and prop up their corporate puppet Pete, Yang has at least 5% after the first round.

I believe this was a first for any candidate:
Andrew Yang won last night's primary debate without attending it

"The top four winners of last night’s debate, according to Google searches and the number of tweets about each candidate, were Bernie Sanders, followed by Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and then Andrew Yang. Ironically, Yang wasn’t even on the debate stage"

I've heard the same thing about Klobachar and Biden.

So, who knows.

But he actually only had around 1% in Iowa, not the other 2.

Is this fake news again, It’s cnn.

this is what one should take away from that article:


"These actions are a natural evolution of the campaign post-Iowa, same as other campaigns have undertaken, and Andrew Yang is going to keep fighting for the voices of the more than 400,000 supporters who have donated to the campaign and placed a stake in the future of our country," the statement reads.


It's all in the math --- in what is what.

5 percent actually the caucus doesn't show his real support since Yang votes were lost in realignment.

Andrew Yang at CNN Presidential Town Hall, Manchester NH. Absolutely nailed it.

Stop making too much sense, dude. It gets you nowhere
I really like Yang, he is very logical and doesn’t have many weaknesses.

He needs a win to get him into the spotlight.

I'm sure they're most likely independents.

Another interesting item from that poll - Bernie voters are still a high % "my man or I probably won't vote".

Yang has lots of crossover appeal and real solutions to many of Americas problems.
