Presidential candidate caught lying. News at 11. :-) Seriously, are we going to hold politicians to not distorting the facts now? Since when is that even a thing? No politician has ever been elected into a public office without lying. In fact presidential elections could be viewed as a competition for who lies the most convincingly. Also: facts do not matter in who gets elected. What matters is how people _feel_ about a candidate. Facts affect that very little. I think Yang's ideas are kooky, but of the entire dem lineup he _feels_ the best. He's obviously very intelligent, he's also much more authentic than all the others, especially the frontrunners. And he's not a career politician, which is a major advantage in this day and age.
