None of the stuff Yang is proposing will pass the current Senate, including and especially UBI. Why not drop UBI then as well?
The fact is that he is trying to call his fake health plan "Medicare for All" when it doesn't even have a public option and was recently called out on it, and frankly it makes him look more like a swindler than a serious candidate.

- Reedx 7y agoAye, that is disappointing. It's oddly out of character for him and I think he made a big mistake using that label. Not sure what's going on there and hope they revise that. As for UBI, I have the same concern and worry he's too far ahead of the zeitgeist for it. Though he makes a strong case when you hear him talk about it and answer questions in depth, even to many across the aisle. And generally I think he'd have a good shot of at least bringing people together enough that they could have a good faith debate. Outside of UBI I suspect he'd make a surprising amount of progress.
- solveit 7y agoBecause UBI is the point of his campaign. His and his supporters claims to the contrary notwithstanding[1], Yang is a single issue candidate trying to draw attention and support for UBI. I would be very surprised if he really thought he could win. [1] Because obviously you should claim you're running to win. Even if you and everyone else knows you have a snowball's chance in hell.
