Damn, I'm a republican and I'm actually interested in this guy.

[ubivisuals]

His platform touches on a lot of important niche issues that will get ignored by mainstream candidates.

[cutcc]

I'm down for this. Andrew Yang has my support ^^.

[ToraTheGoldenRetriever]

I’m gonna vote all over Andrew Yang! Andrew Yang 2020!!

[GRV_]

He’s officially making the debate stage!

[Travisharger]

Super stoked about this guy. First Democrat I’ve ever been really impressed with during a campaign and first candidate I’ve ever supported financially. UBI is the simplest, fairest, cheapest, and most efficient way to accomplish many of the progressive goals that will make American society a much better place without all the silly ideas peddled by most democrats like minimum wage hikes. Love seeing a data driven and independent thinking candidate for once.

Donate just $1 to help get this gorgeous man on the debate stage!!!

Andrew Yang is focused on problem-solving and implementing policies informed by data, not useless left or right talking points.

Some of my friends say they won’t vote for him because he has held no political office. But that’s one of the reasons why I’ll vote for him. He is pure hearted, wise and uncorrupted. I’ll take a chance that he’ll stay that way.

[J-gz]

Making Puerto Rico a state is what really got me. Go Yang!

[JamesLee-mbsw]

FINALLY!!! ASIAN CANDIDATE IS COMING OUT!!!

[footballfan]

Yang is ranked #6 right now by Oddshark to win. Expect him to move up.

[Allen.Fepuleai]

Yangs top 3 proposals are actually:
1) Freedom dividend of $1000 per month to every American adult
2) Medicare for all. Phasing out private insurance
3) Human centered capitalism, where GDP is not the only measurement of national well-being.

[dkennell]

Cool segment, Fortune - I'd love to see more Yang!

[footballfan]

I'm a white male Trump voter and I'm voting Yang

[rosieg]

I’d prefer him over any of the democratic candidates any day

Yang gang, where you at?
