[Heuristics]

My assessment of the race right now:

Buttpeg has been foisted upon us for some reason, but I find Beto to be preferable because he actually seems to stand for things. Buttpeg so far has been intensely nebulous and waffling much like obama was in 08. Something tells me the people behind the man (pun intended) told him he should do this.

Biden despite being "creepy" in female parlance for liking to sniff hair isn't going anywhere. Unless a fake accuser comes out with a rape accusation. At the point where Trump is the reference point for all things moral in our country, won't Biden have the high ground because he likes immigrants. In a more serious vein, Biden may give Trump a good run for the money because a cause could be made that the Trump admin is full of oligarchs. Keeping in mind Biden wasn't born rich, and does have some appeal to middle/working class people.

Bernie is not designated to win the primary contest because he is an old white guy despite the fact that he is Jewish. rather, his ideas have already been co-opted by more centrist democratic candidates to neutralize his threat which was real last election.

The strategy at this point has to be keep like Yang and Bernie and maybe even Tulsi from making too big a splash. Thus it has to be continued calls for more gibbs, and an almost incessant focus with intersectional identity politics. Foreign policy, wars, and the future of the economy/ wealth stratification will not be discussed. My guess is the eventual debates will have a circuslike atmosphere because of the large field of dems. competing for attention. Then someone nebulous like Pete gets the nod because the bases are all fragmented, or Uncle Joe swoops in and restores us to the Obama status quo.

Another thing that I noticed was that Andrew is just peacocking naturally as he is the only Asian candidate to run for president. People are going to look him up once he start debating on the national TV.

[Sumanguru]

He's hustling.

This is from Seattle a couple hours ago.

Meanwhile he's getting one or two mainstream articles and interviews per day, while polling at 3 - 5% nationally and in various states like Texas and Iowa. Not a lot, but definite progress from just a couple months ago. Let's see if the momentum continues.

[Leonard D Neubache]

To some degree it's possible that him coming up from behind while the other candidates are slitting each others throats will work well for him.

Since all of the deep-state approved candidates have gone with the option of memory-holing him they can't attack him.

[SamuelBRoberts]

He really needs to ditch that "MATH" shit. Guy makes getting a thousand bucks a month seem boring.

Imagine if I had a program to increase America's birthrate by sending supermodels to your house to fuck you every Friday, and its slogan was "BIOLOGY".

He should do some Tommy Vu style political ads for YangBucks

Yang is nothing more than a leftist Ron Paul. He won't win, half of his policies are awesome but the other half is retarded.

[911]

Batting 50% puts him ahead of all the other candidates, except maybe Tulsi.

Although obviously the shine wore off after each administration, each president for the last 20 or so years has been noticeably different from the previous. Whereas elder Bush was formal and statesmen-like, befitting his previous bureaucratic experience, Clinton was (relatively) young and cool, playing saxophone on Arsenio Hall. In contrast to a more sophisticated Clinton, younger Bush was down to Earth, some insisted stupid, not smooth, Cowboy-esque. Then America went a full 180 and elected a smooth, urbanite, international black dude named Obama. Then they went the opposite way again and elected the anti-international, rough-speaking older white guy Trump.

And what does Andrew always say? "The opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian guy who likes math." He noticed the pattern of Americans wanting their next president to be very different from the previous one, AND he's taking advantage of the stereotype of his race (or, as bgbusiness says, he's peacocking). You--a white man?--or I--a black man--having "Math" or "Biology" as our slogans would be weird, but an Asian guy having it is a little less weird and it immediately taps into what most Americans think about Asians, "Smart, math-oriented." I like that Andrew has embraced his nerdiness, if he tried to be anything else it'd be unauthentic and would stick out immediately. For better or worse, I don't know if he can do anything else any other way, so he might as well embrace the nerdy CEO role 100%

His policies are retarded

But at least you *KNOW* about his policies, in-depth. You can't say that for 95% of the Dem field. It takes courage and commitment to dedicate to concrete policies, especially this early in the game, and Yang doesn't get nearly enough credit for having the testicular fortitude to put himself on the line and commit.

[bgbusiness]

@Sumanguru

Exactly my 100% thoughts.

His marketing strategy is pretty on point tbh. Look at YouTube.
I cannot think of any other presidential candidate who did so many interviews in such a short period of time.

No other candidate is doing that right now.
I just hope he get more cover time on TV, but it's not as nearly as important as in the past, not many people watch TV except the older generations, which isn't really Andrew's core demographic target, so it doesn't THAT much imo.

I really want this guy to win so bad. I am thinking about buying one of his shirts or hats.

Do you mind elaborating on that a little bit?
Please enlighten me.

This is my preferred Yang swag and motto. From the official website. Very close to picking one up.

True, her or Gravel (who I actually donated money to since he's the one I think is the most willing to compromise or at least be the most sane). The one issue with Yang is that the retardation negates the greatness. Because the retardation REALLY is what comes first.

His results are impressive. Absolutely.

His slogans are fucking cringe-city. "Secure the bag?" "Math?"

Does he really think that any level of mainstream popularity will be had with slogans like "Math?"

These are Seattle internet nerd alerts going to see him and screaming "Math" while pointing to their sign. It's the Bernie Bros version 2.0 donating in hopes of their securing their bag of future yangbucks.

It's entertaining I'll give him that, but less like "haha he's crushing people what a stud" and more like "haha he's such a dorky spectacle."

Now, if the Democrats could get a guy who can be as well spoken as him with some policies more in-line with what could succeed and get some real money behind him....then maybe he will be a contender.

He's in the show, but he's gonna go the way of the court jester I think.

[SamuelBRoberts]

Secure the Bag's a silly internet meme, it's the kind of stuff he needs right now because it shows he's supportive of his internet fans, and encourages them to do more work getting the word out.

Agreed that MATH is retarded.

[Leonard D Neubache]

Okay. I figured out how Yang can hit the nitro button and blast into the prime time.

Get some ageing starlet of yesteryear. She still has to be passably hot and in Yang's age range.

Get her to make a #metoo claim against Yang but do it in a way that paints Yang as a savage, unquenchable sexual tyrannosaurus that left her wrecked and broken. Meanwhile Yang will respond by saying that he and the starlet had "a thing" a while ago but parted amicably.

Once Yang is a household name the starlet recants her story saying that in hindsight it was probably more like Yang tells it and really she just misses the way he made her feel.

Boom. Yang gets pre-selected into the ovaries of every pre-wall woman in the country.

[Sumanguru]

He has a more "normie" friendly slogan.

[911]

Yang is a bit like the tech executive/entrepreneur who's good at building and running things but not as good at PR or influencing, he need to do a better job at leveraging his unique policy proposal.

Yep, sure unique alright.

What's unique here is that the money this time would go to the people who have been taxed to death and not getting anything back, that's the whole impetus of his UBI.
