, framing them as a blight on the city’s economy.
During a radio segment with conservative billionaire John Catsimatidis, the conversation turned to a discussion about how many people with mental health issues are living on the streets. Yang’s proposed solution: increasing institutionalization of the mentally ill. “We need to get them the care that they need, but that will also supercharge our economic recovery, because we all see these mentally ill people on our streets and subways," he said.
, when he said, “Yes, mentally ill people have rights, but you know who else have rights? We do! The people and families of the city." He continued, "We have the right to walk the street and not fear for our safety because a mentally ill person is going to lash out at us." Yang’s sweeping generalization of mental illness — primarily his framing of all those who suffer from mental illness as violent and criminal — adds to the stigmatization of mental health issues. His comments have
Wow. More MSM smears using only a fraction of what he said to mislead your readers, even AFTER he conceded in the most classy way. Is this what you have to do for clicks? Stick to your usual vapid content like celeb gossip, fashion & the Kardashians. Teen Vogue is tabloid trash.
It's more offensive to leave the mentally ill on the street. Maybe when you become adult vogue you'll understand that
Time to move on. Got your consistent message. Start addressing more serious issues than bashing an Asian man who already conceded.
You all are better than this. His policies are to get real help to the homeless and mentally ill.
He’s taking about getting them help. That’s now a problem?
Amazing - another shitty publication takes his words out of context to paint a narrative.
Disregarding the safety of others is what's actually shocking. Listen to what he said that the majority of the people who are attacked are Asian. Cutting back more and more capacity to take care of these people is what caused this, and no one is angry about that?
Let’s never speak of him again.
He blew his chances for mayor, but he also hurt the conversation about homelessness. Shelters in NYC are for profit and skewed to make it impossible for the homeless to gain independence.
There should be a period after the word 'idea' and nothing after that.
Yang was absolutely right. You obviously have no idea what is happening in NYC right now and how these lunatics affect decent people. You should invite some of them to live with you so they don't feel stigmatized and make it a reality show. That would be a win/win for everyone.🤣
They think blindness is contagious in some parts of Asia so what about the humanity of people who need mental health help?
Andrew Yang is 100% right. We should all be allowed to live without fear of being stabbed or punched (by anyone), I feel like that's the 1 basic right we should have, to live safely. You guys already got into hot water for clownish woke moves. Stay in your lane
Some mentally ill people are violent criminals, unfortunately. Just because someone is mentally ill, it doesn't mean they should be allowed to roam free and harm other people. Do you guys support people being harmed?
investors in vaccines are mentally ill
Do you guys know nowunited? They are young and talent
