1) #FreedomDivided of 1K/mo for all US adults. Could help build black wealth quickly. 3 fam adults living together = $3K/Mo buy a 200K house in 5.5 years #YangGang
2) On top of the #FreedomDividend, he also recognizes the historical injustices done to us through slavery and supports the exploratory bill in Congress to figure out reparations logistics. #Yang2020
3) Our boy @AndrewYang also wants massive criminal justice reform. Every cop gets a camera and turning it off is assumption of guilt, no private prisons, decrim of weed and opiates, and mass pardoning for those in jail for nonviolent drug charges. #GoogleAndrewYang#YangGang
4) Furthermore @AndrewYang has unique policies no one else has. For example, paying #NCAA atheletes. How many black faces are entertaining #America every march but arent getting a cent from those millions? How much capital would that inject into the #BlackCommunity?
5) He also supports policies like supporting #HBCU, student debt relief, Medicare for all, being paid for data rights, fixing #Flint and our infrastructure crisis, and tackling automation that's going to devestate us (how many of you know call center employees or retail workers)?
6) No 2020 candidate from any party is offering #BlackPeople#BlackLivesMatter a better, more comprehensive deal than @AndrewYang. Period. His black agenda is strong and would make both us and the contry stronger. You really should #GoogleAndrewYang
I can deal with him losing in a fair process. This wasn't fair. @scottsantens documented the media blackout.
And there's another factor. Bernie campaign surrogates and low level followers lied and smeared Yang. I have receipts. Let's go #YangGang
2/Let’s start at the top. AOC is the biggest surrogate for Sanders there is. Here is AOC lying about Yang's UBI with the regressive trojan horse talking points that #YangGang is so familiar with. And in the next tweet you’ll see…
3/…her talking about how awesome a campaign Yang ran, as if she didn’t push away thousands from pursuing him as a Bern supporter. There's a lot more. Keep reading #YangGang
I understand why #YangGang and #Bernie supporters don't get along.
1) @AndrewYang trusts people, whereas @BernieSanders trusts institutions. This is vital. Hence the #FreedomDividend puts $$$ directly into people's hands but #FJG/$15 makes people go through institutions for $$$
2) Yang is inherently capitalist, Sanders is inherently socialist. People who support Sanders want to totally upend the system. Us #YangGang want capitalism to work for us.
3) Yang has spent his entire career in the private sector, as opposed to Bernie who only has (extensive) govt experience. So Yang looks at #FightFor15 and thinks "This can hurt small businesses" and Sanders discovers that its hard to run a business. cnbc.com/2019/07/25/for…
