We need the @DNC to #PollThePeople. Between now and January 10, the DNC should commission four early state qualifying polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, where all the candidates have invested their time, resources, and staff. thedailybeast.com/in-leaked-memo…
It has been 47 days since a qualifying poll in Iowa, New Hampshire, or Nevada was taken. As you know, big shifts can happen within short periods in this race, as we've already witnessed
multiple times. Let’s ask the people. @DNC #PollthePeople
If cost is an issue we would be glad to contribute to the @DNC the cost of the commissioned polls. It’s a small price to pay to actually see what voters are thinking at this crucial time. #pollthepeople
Thanks @RoKhanna for all you do to move the country forward. 👍🇺🇸

Was asked to appear on @msnbc this weekend - and told them that I’d be happy to after they apologize on-air, discuss and include our campaign consistent with our polling, and allow surrogates from our campaign as they do other candidates’. They think we need them. We don’t.
They’ve omitted me from their graphics 12+ times, called me John Yang on air, and given me a fraction of the speaking time over 2 debates despite my polling higher than other candidates on stage. At some point you have to call it.
The whole time we have gotten stronger. This is actually bad for MSNBC. It will only get worse after I make the next debates and keep rising in the polls. The people are smarter than MSNBC would like to think.

@paulkrugman Thanks Paul. The productivity growth stat could be a result of the fact that many workers are being pushed into - or stuck in - low productivity sectors as a means of survival. It could also be a lagging indicator. As you know it’s hard to pack every stat into an Op-Ed.
@paulkrugman It’s hard to see why you are so dismissive. McKinsey, MIT, BCG, Oxford, the Obama White House, the World Bank and just about every other org who has looked at this is deeply concerned about automation. They see the same stats you and I do.
@paulkrugman Instead of citing a backward-looking stat why not get out and visit with the technologists, labor leaders, factory workers, educators, retail workers, truckers, Amazon facility workers and others who are experiencing this day-to-day? You might have a different perspective.

Richard Ojeda. Eric Swalwell. Seth Moulton. Jay Inslee. John Hickenlooper. Kirsten Gillibrand. Bill de Blasio. Tim Ryan. Beto O’Rourke. Credit to those still in the race. This stuff isn’t easy. 👍🇺🇸
I like and admire most everyone on this list. Some I consider friends. You get to know people on the road. You bond in unexpected ways.
The press makes it seem like a horse race. Each candidate is a human being on the road away from loved ones. Not many know what it feels like from the inside. I appreciate everyone who stepped up. Win or lose.

The DNC touts 26 qualifying polls for the December debate. But then there's this, on the January debate: "Yang's letter to Perez noted that only one qualifying survey of Iowa, New Hampshire or Nevada had been released in the previous 38 days." Fix this, DNC. I mean, Jesus Christ.
It was an obvious weakness of the DNC plan that it was based on the willingness of third parties to conduct polling at a reasonable clip in the runup to early votes. Now that the DNC sees that those parties can't be relied upon, *it* has the responsibility for fixing the problem.
I firmly believe, and have believed ever since I entered our adversarial system of justice as a public defender, that a rigorous multilateral discourse tends to be the most likely means to arrive at truth. An artificial winnowing of candidates holds no interest for me whatsoever.

1) Alright, here we go. As promised.

Tentative delegate counts if primaries were held today of how the Democrat Presidential candidates will shake out.

It started from this article politico.com/news/magazine/…

(h/t @Barnes_Law I was not trying to put him on blast, just politico)
@Barnes_Law 2) A few things before I get started: Breaking down my methodology and explanations of how Democrat primaries work. Because they're fucking weird.

First, I got my data from the aggregates at @RealClearNews realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_…
@Barnes_Law @RealClearNews 3) There are a few states, primarily those that happen later in the primary season, that there's only a poll or two done; I averaged them together if multiple polls were done, otherwise I included a few states around the middle of the season that reflected the overall polling.

A quick #thread about how I understand qualifying for the Dem debates work. I could be a bit off but you'll get the gist. @TheDemocrats say you have to qualify two ways: unique donors (people donating to your campaign who haven't before) & poll numbers at a certain threshold. 1/
Let's use @JulianCastro as an example. Strong policies, working hard meeting folks all over the US. But the media are focused on whoever the flavor of the week is. Right now it seems to be Mayor Pete. Pete gets the coverage, folks find out more about him, his poll numbers go up.
When you don't get media coverage, you have to spend more money to be heard. This is how Tom Steyer qualified for the Dec. debate. NO media is talking about Tom, but he's rich so he can buy ads. Folks see the ads & when polled, they remember his name. His poll numbers increase.

Today, the DNC announced that they've raised the bar for Dem Candidates to qualify for the November debate: #MondayMotivation

3- in four or more qualifying polls or 5 percent in two single-state polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada. To count towards the debate criteria, those polls will have to be released between Sept. 13 and a week before the debate."

According to a 2018 Yale survey, 55% of Texans support expanding oil and gas drilling off the U.S. coast.

So do 52% of Americans in Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona and South Carolina.

About 240,000 Texas jobs depend on oil and gas.
Not only would this hurt American workers and their families, it would amount to unilateral surrender in the global competition of energy production, and be a huge gift to Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kremli…
In FY 2018, the four Gulf oil and gas producing states – Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas – received nearly $215 million in offshore oil and gas production revenue.

Alabama - $24.5M
Louisiana $75.8M
Mississippi $25.4M
Texas $46.3M
