Rich right wingers want either Yang or a retired NYPD cop lol that alone should cause some concern
I think this is mostly because Yang has thrown out some pro-cop, âweâre all scared to ride the subwayâ rhetoric that theyâre latching on to.
To be fair, every Democrat to the right of Bernie is going to go full pro-cop by 2024.

If you are really scared of everyone the subway is a scary place.
I was talking about the Yang Gang more than him. This seems accurate, from what I saw on facebook etc
The libertarian and racist right appreciate Yangâs sentiment toward Midwestern workers and white Americans plagued by both the opioid and suicide epidemic. Libertarians would prefer UBI to the current welfare state because it would put the money in the hands of the people rather than the supposed corrupt government. As economist and self-proclaimed libertarian Milton Friedman stated (in a quote that appears on Yangâs campaign site), âWe should replace the ragbag of specific welfare programs with a single comprehensive program of income supplements in cash â a negative income tax⌠which would do more efficiently and humanely what our present welfare system does so inefficiently and inhumanely.â Yangâs lack of political experience, anti-authoritarianism, and solutions for Americaâs largest issues (throw money at the problem) echo Trumpâs campaign â so much so that his right-wing supporters are willing to overlook his political party affiliation in favor of his irreverent pessimistic attitude. As of now, heâs one of two explicit outsiders â the other is spiritual teacher and author Marianne Williamson â among established Democratic candidates. He has a hint of nihilism in his willingness to disrupt how things are done, is pessimistic about the future, and tops it all off with a heavy dose of business-minded solutions. Itâs no wonder that some of those who once supported Trump as a gag have become part of the Yang Gang.
A big part of it was also him being the outsider who people that donât like dems in general supported.
lol good job dems, glad you voted to give $2 billion to the capitol police

The best part about the current filibuster kerfuffle is that itâs not even over something thatâs super liberal or even that good.
Dems: We want to make it easier to vote
Over half of the senate, apparently: Oh hell no
