What is wrong with andrew yang?

[getagrip_already]

Somehow I ended up on his mailing list. I just received an email diatribe where he basically attacked biden for being too old, that he shouldn't run in 24, that harris was "just like clinton" and would lose to trump or any other q candidate, and a lot of other bs about the woeful state of our potential 24 lineup.

This does absolutely nothing useful. It undermines biden and cripples harris. Why would anyone but a republican send this out?

That was no friend of the dems email.

[we can do it]

1. Narcissism.

[rogue emissary]

2. You nailed it it "undermines biden and cripples harris."

That's his goal.

3. Yang is upset that he is a several time loser.

He has a following of people that think he is awesome, and he believes the hype but it doesn't bear out in reality. He is a relatively marginal character, but is begin amplified because it creates drama in the media.

4. that harris was "just like clinton"

She has my vote.

[Hortensis]

5. Haven't had a political attacker yet who didn't make me glad to be on the other side.

And remind me of why I am. Yuck.

6. Andrew Yang, The bell that rang

Andrew Yang
The bell that rang
Before it had been struck

Trolls for dough
Cares not for Joe
He just don’t give a fuck

7. Check the links of return email

There’s a small chance of :
1. false flag or
2. general purpose scam
3. someone you personally know has subscribed for you


but statistically... spam

i suggest a lawsuit or small claims court

11. email addie is [e-mail]

That's the sender address, not reply to or some other field.

Doesn't seem to be fake.

8. Yet he lost big time on both his races

Don’t think I need a lecture from him on how to win.

9. Wittingly or unwittingly, he is in some ways a mirror image of Trump.

Like Trump, he appeals to people who are dissatisfied with government and think that both parties are equally nonresponsive or corrupt.

I don't think he is evil the way Trump is, and I'm sure he despises Trump and the threat he poses to our democracy. Yet regardless of his intent, by attacking Democratic leaders in order to pave the way for a third-party run, he is going to siphon voters away from Democrats in what will be a perilously close election.

13. He's rich so he thinks he's smart

He reminds me of Ross Perot: couldn't get a nomination from the major parties so he took his money and founded his own. He did spoil Bush the Elder's re-election chances so I suppose there's that.

[Mr.Bill]

14. He's actually not that rich.

Compared to the average person, yes, but there are plenty of politicians that are far richer than him.

Estimates are as low as one million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Yang#Net_worth

[getagrip_already]

15. that will change when dark money starts flooding his way......

PACs are just giant slush funds, and his will be very full from shady groups who want to hurt dems.

Probably even foreign funds.

[Mr.Bill]

17. I'm sure that will happen,

but I was responding to a post that said he is rich.

[hamsterjill]

16. He liked the attention he got in the primary.

He’s been craving more attention since then. I thought he had some good ideas at one time, but now I just see him as a problem.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. I never took this person seriously

He is clearly not a real member of the Democratic Party

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Ha ha! Gonna take a lot more than Yang to "cripple" Kamala Harris.

[Tribetime]

20. When he was on Fox News a week or so ago

On Tucker Carlson explaining we all need to talk to each other that was it for me

[Wounded Bear]

22. 3rdpartyitis...

[themaguffin]

23. His actions remind me of Nate on Ted Lasso. He made some...

...interesting points, seemed down to Earth, but then lashes out and attempts to harm the group that he is in.
