Twitter accounts aren’t really a barometer for success, but they are a good way to fake it.

shosta don't let your yangfluenza make you defend the dang electoral college. That would be Peterson and the red lipstick all over.

Mutilating children for absolutely no reason should probably stop. And btw, before you try to argue the point - does your dad have a PhD in physics? No? Sit this one out then, champ

Sit this one out then, champIt’s a perfectly fine view to have but I don’t understand what sway that’s supposed to have as a candidate, you know? It’s more likely to lose him votes than gain him anything. And it’s not like other candidates have made statements on it, so it needlessly affects him is all.

I have a feeling Yang is trying to cast a wide net. But yeah, the immigration stuff and electoral college he loses me a bit.
sounds like Spyro yikes

The immigration policies, the electoral college support, not giving UBI to people in jail, verbalizing that "being white doesn't mean you're suffering any less", all of it is an intentional appeal to white people. It's not accidental!
it's still a strategic move to get UBI into the mainstream
So apparently he’ll be debating Ben Shapiro on circumcision. I don’t think Ben Shapiro is smart or anything, but I feel like there’s no way this won’t hurt Yang overall.

Again, you're wringing your hands about the "optics" while talking about a guy who pollsters won't even ask about.
Lol then what’s the point of this thread?

We should move to a ranked-choice/instant runoff voting system, a system that has recently been implemented in Maine and is being explored by many other localities.In ranked choice voting, each voter ranks their top three candidates, from 1 to 3. After this is complete, every voter’s first choice is tallied. If one candidate received over 50% of the vote, they win the election. If no candidate hit the majority threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Then, everyone who listed that eliminated candidate as their first choice has their second choice considered. These second-choice votes are added to the totals for the remaining candidates. If a candidate at this point has received over 50% of the votes, then they win; otherwise, the process repeats itself until someone does receive a majority of votes.Election experts almost universally agree that ranked-choice voting is superior to plurality voting. The benefits include: Better capturing voter preferences. Since each voter is allowed to express how they feel about more candidates, the outcome tends to reflect the choices of voters better. Allows for more moderate candidates. A candidate that has broad, cross-aisle appeal is more likely to win using a ranked-choice voting system since voters can express their preference for a more partisan candidate as well as the more moderate choice. Lowers levels of negative campaigning. Since each voter can potentially vote for a candidate as well as their opponent, candidates shy from negative campaigning that would alienate the supporters of other candidates, instead trying to appeal to those voters as their second or third choice.
