My sense is that there has been *much* more energy behind @AndrewYang than has been reflected in official narratives. Hence #YangMediaBlackout This is what I thought about Bernie & Trump in 2016. I only wish the first primary were a simple secret ballot to test that theory.
My other big question is how many folks would vote for Yang except for UBI being portrayed as “magic money”. This is in large part an issue of optics: you either love the idea of free money as dividend or it looks to you like an evil gimmick from satan.

UBI, however, is neither.
The map is not the territory & the marketing is not the product. Keep that in mind. It is a desperate measure for a desperate situation which hasn’t fully happened yet. There are still jobs, but there are few careers. We have to do something when labor markets fail families. 🙏
