On Yang endorsing Biden, my thoughts
TLDR
1 Its been clear since ST Biden was going to beat Bernie
2 Unless Yang is VP, Trump WILL beat Biden
3 Goddammit Andrew, youre good at problem solving, not politics
4 Still #YangGang because abandoning #HumanityFirst is not an option
1/12

I like Bernie, he's a good man, he told me something I'll never forget
"We're all in this together, everyone on Earth, we have to start acting like it"
But he's stubborn, weak & lets himself get taken advantage of by those who ride his coattails to advance their own agendas

I was hoping Bernie would win, but it became pretty clear on Super Tuesday, that Biden, for his clear dementia & long record of being an insufferable asshole and embodiment of all that's wrong with American politics, was going to win. I wish that wasn't the case but...it is.

That said, #Coronavirus and resulting societal disruption is now the only thing that will stop Trump from winning re-election (unless of course the Virus gets him too)

If that happens, Pence wont be able to rally #MAGA behind him.

The ONLY way Biden wins is with VP Yang.

But on Yangs endorsement
Im disappointed & upset, but more in his way of announcing it than in his endorsement itself

Yang's a problem solver, not a politician, hes very smart, but doesnt know how to play the game, his messaging, timing, & delivery has...stumbled repeatedly
5/12

It first became apparent in October, when he noticeably lowered how much he responded to the organic, grassroots, unconventional innovation and messaging coming from the #YangGang itself.
In short, he abandoned some crucial aspect of what got him that far to begin with.

I still know that @AndrewYang is not a shill or a sellout to the movement he created & hasnt joined the establishment, He endorsed Biden because the numbers told him to do so. He would have endorsed Bernie just as readily if the numbers told him to do that. But...they didn't
7/12

The thing to always remember with Yang, he never really WANTED to become president, becoming president was always just a means to an end.

That end: solving the existential problems we face, problems that are not going away no matter who wins in November.

If you think 2020 is unbearable, the Tsunami that's coming in 3-5 years... will crush you like a bug.

Yes, we must pass #UBI ASAP, but that's not nearly enough. We MUST make the #HumanityFirst movement a global phenomenon, working to make it into law wherever we can.
9/12

Andrew, for all his flaws & failures started something, he got people who wouldn't even talk to one another to put aside their differences & work arm in arm towards a better future for everyone.
We must continue growing that & spreading it around the world, in every society
10/12

What's coming, with exponential Biosphere Collapse and exponential Technological Advancement will not spare us, regardless of what what side we're on, or what cause we're fighting for, regardless of who controls Congress or SCOTUS. This is existential, Failure = Extinction.
11/12

Im still #YangGang #YangGangForever because Bernie was right
"We're all in this together, everyone on Earth, we have to start acting like it"
We must stay focused on #HumanityFirst, we must put aside our disagreements & work with people we don't like

We don't have a choice
