I agree. I am very glad Yang is reaching the debates stage. Bernie comes from an Old Left tradition in which strengthening the working class just will solve our economic problems, because the underlying cause is diagnosed as being an imbalance of power towards the owning class over the working class. Yang prefers to look at technological change, which is itself an important structural factor that requires examination.
If you know a bunch about Yang, could you tell me: what's his diagnosis for why the automation revolution doesn't show up in productivity numbers?
