Is Yang gonna be fucking mayor?
That's pretty funny, I hope it really happens. Also I don't really hate Yang, he seems like a decent dude even if most of his politics is quite bad.
You felt like you could sit down and have a beer with GWB.
Nah that's an unfair comparison. Don't get me wrong, Yang is horrible and represents a new type of technological capitalism bullshit, but he's not a known soulless evil ghoul like GWB. I mean I'm Iraqi lol, I know a war criminal when I see one
Not a 1:1 comparison. But charisma and “good hearts” should have little to no role in deciding whether someone is a politician worth supporting.
The NYC race sucks though there aren’t really any good options.
You're totally right, but in the complete absence of any alternative, you're basically left with "a good heart, maybe" as the only relevant differentiator (if you're lucky lol)

I agree that he seems more dumb than malicious, but that unfortunately doesn't really change the fact that his version of UBI is the kind that's a Trojan Horse for austerity. Don't know if he'd be noticeably worse than deBunglio as a mayor tho.
hopefully fucking not
I wouldn't be surprised. This is a city that repeatedly elected both Bloomberg and Giuliani.
Wait is he running for it?? That's hilarious.
From New Yawk. People are talking big about Yang rn. He has attention for sure. That pres run set him up lmfao
