Bruh, this part is hilarious :laff:

From the time Mr. Yang filed his statement of candidacy in the fall of 2017 to February 2019 when he went on The Joe Rogan Experience, the campaign consisted of the candidate and no more than eight full-time staff members. A few of those eight volunteered out of Mr. Yang’s mother’s apartment in Hell’s Kitchen for months before the campaign finally moved to an office in Midtown.

At first, the campaign was so focused on Mr. Yang’s basic income pitch that its website URL was “UBI2020.com,” not “Yang2020.com.” Policy pages were written off Mr. Yang’s campaign book, “The War on Normal People.” Top aides took pictures at angles that would make rooms look fuller than they were. They did not know to print signs with Mr. Yang’s name on both sides, so it would be visible from the front and back.

They set up their ActBlue account so that a cha-ching! sound would ring through the office every time someone made a donation. They celebrated every time.

There wasn’t that much to celebrate in the early days. In late 2018, Mr. Yang recalled, the campaign had “maybe $20,000 in the bank,” and held a New Year’s party as a fund-raiser that ended up being a “fund-loser.” The party was so bad, he added, one person who showed up demanded a refund.

:mjlol: there is nothing new here, it's the exact same hacky bullshyt that Rising has been pulling since they jumped the shark and gone full anti-Warren to boost Bernie. Krystal is just regurgitating the same, stale crap circulating on Bernie twitter/reddit. :coffee:
Call it what you will. Just don’t call it a lie :sas2:

Amy has competition?

Listen, I donated to her congressional campaign. But her senate campaign is a bad idea. How does she plan to increase voter turnout?

From the story:

Along with McGrath, other Democrats to have announced a Senate run are retired Marine Mike Broihier and health care professional Steve Cox. Kentucky House Minority Leader Rocky Adkins and Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones also are considering bids.

Matt Jones has the name recognition if he decides to run since he's built his own little sports empire in KY and everyone knows him across the state. Adkins looks like a solid candidate but has no money.

It's a damn shame all that money went to McGrath. She ain't it.

You have to respect that endurance, positivity, and hustle. :salute:

Until Yang tells us how he's gonna stop rent from going up $1k once UBI passes, I'm going with baby bonds and/or federal jobs guarantee.:ufdup:

:stopitslime: :gucci:

Her record as AG has been scrutinized and a lot of black dudes ain't messing with that... shoot, black women too. The biggest Kamala boosters are upper middle class black folk in DC, MD, GA and elsewhere... and she obviously has her support in California.

He can kiss my ass. The only candidates who actually deserve the black vote are:
  • Marianne Williamson
  • Julian Castro
  • Bernie Sanders
  • Elizabeth Warren.
The rest can kick rocks.

Yang is the most positive of all the candidates. Dude praises every single candidate in the field. What's hilarious is how quick he is to tweet something nice when one of them drops out.
