Andrew left the Democratic Party because he didn’t fit in. He’s actually a good person who cares about people and has moral standards.

[SSJPhenom]

Good for you Andrew Yang. If more people actually spent more time listening and learning, instead of trying to legitimize "their side" our country would have significantly less issues.

[god-son-love]

The only politician that I understand every word he said. No wonder he can't win.

[SolidSiren]

WE NEED MANY MORE INDEPENDENTS and actually get them in office

[walkman]

US desperately needs a third and even fourth major parties

[jbsqueen]

Get the corporate donors and lobbyists out of the government.

[chodkowski]

Term limits is the answer. Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and McConnell have been in control for over 40 years and politics has never been so bad.

[BrockLanders]

Guess he wasn’t woke enough to be in the cult anymore.

[polyseed]

Actually we need no parties. Forces people to vote for the candidate and his positions instead of blind allegiance to a party out of fear of the other party winning.

[gregorbegger]

Andrew Yang is a good man. I hope he wins an election as another party

[johnnyw]

Yes! Open primary. Yes!
When you register to vote, why do you have to declare which party you register to? That’s a way for political party to control your vote. Think about it! If parties don’t know who their bases are, they will try appeal to general population of the whole state or country.

Andrew is a good man! We need more people like him.

[EddieFelson]

Good for him. Yang, was always an intelligent guy.

[bobbyward]

I really like Andrew Yang! He seems genuine, smart, and forward thinking. Having only two political parties seems archaic. I think we need to try different things. I think he has the right idea. I just bought his book as well!

[rodneysandersii]

I still mess with yang. I still believe he was the reason the stimulus checks were given. I like a lot a lot of his ideas. I also respect anyone that wants to bring republicans and democrats together. We are currently moving to a point of no return between to the 2 parties. Rank choice voting I believe is a good idea as well.

[JulieAnimus]

CNN cut Yang’s mic during the Democratic debates now they’re giving him an exclusive? Yang should have asked “Anderson, why did you cut my mic?”

[danielvonau]

We have 6 major parties in Germany and I am really glad to have that.

[karateJeff]

He left the party cause he realized he was a pawn and a victim holder for their agenda

[DavidGodwin]

I am sick and tired of the 15% on the right and the 15% on the left driving the politics in this country forcing people to choose a party over what is best for this country.

[TheBurninator]

He's reasonable and fair, which means he'll never make it as a politician.
