Donning an American flag scarf, a “MATH” baseball cap and armed with rally signs stating, “Yang Gang” and “Humanity First,” 2020 Democratic candidate Andrew Yang stepped up on a stage under Washington Square Arch in New York City on Tuesday night for what he had hoped would be his largest campaign rally yet.
As the New York native continued his speech, it became clear that his platform doesn’t revolve solely around attacking President Trump. Yang’s “Humanity First” slogan is about fighting automation technology like artificial intelligence, which he claims could soon eliminate one-third of American jobs.
Asked by Newsweek after the rally how he would debate Trump, Yang avoided personal attacks and addressed policy concerns. His rally in New York City received 5,000 RSVP’s and over half of them showed up on the rainy evening, Yang’s press secretary Randy Jones told Newsweek. Attendance did not surpass that of a rally in Seattle, which had more than 4,000 supporters.Peter Chow, 31, who works in the tech industry, said he’s “not super into politics” but was intrigued to check out Yang’s rally with his friend, who came dressed in a robot costume.

UBI properly implemented is one of the most effective, efficient, simple, fair, and cheapest ways to accomplish many of the progressive economic/inequality goals that truly benefit everyone. Love how data driven AndrewYang is.

Trump 'very surprised' Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr.The Senate Intelligence Committee issued the subpoena on Wednesday; it was not immediately clear why he was being subpoenaed. TrumpCrimeSyndicate *The family that stays together preys together* Why is he surprised!? His son is just as much a criminal as he is! They should be used to subpoenas by now! Wait til he gets defeated next year, he can look forward to dozens more!! Harrassment, plain and simple. When will Democrats do their job? This was purely partisan minus 1 antiTrumper rep.
