I don't think he's the _only_ one but his typical campaign messaging puts an awful lot of effort into addressing poverty and lack of opportunity in manufacturing which is interpreted by many on the left as pandering to the alt right (the very comments about white male suicides and overdoses is literally treated as a "dogwhistle for the alt right" by hypersensitive leftists). Yang spins this kind of socioeconomic disaster into an automation focused explanation for why Trump won 2016, which is what many on the left do not accept either because they oftentimes accept the Clintonian explanation of Russian, racism, etc. rather than a terrible (well-qualified, still terrible) candidate and campaign (that ignored middle America and presumed it'd win).n
