when they learn more about this unusual candidate. Most people are barely even paying attention to the primaries yet.

Did you know he split the profits from selling his company with his employees? Do you not think that's pretty awesome? And relatively, if not extremely rare?

Yes, that's been reported some time ago.

Doesn't move the needle in the polls.

Because unlike other campaigns, he has not yet peaked, has not had fundraising dry up, and only keeps gaining support

K&R to your thread. I have always liked Yang. I think his universal income could solve a lot of problems with poverty. And his policies on health care, climate change, and gun control are all good.

It's the UBI that gets most people's attention for sure!! 😂

But in all honesty it's about so much more than just the money. It's about helping people to be able to address so many different problems in their own lives.
