A Chinese conspiracy theory if I ever heard it.

Maybe he hopes to get more votes, but druggies don’t have reliable voter turnout.

Decriminalize heroin. Reparations. Socialism. Legalize prostitution. Allow babies that survive abortion to die. Why not just HAND the election to Trump?

What’s up with his nostrils?

A large number of Trumptards are actually backing him.

They're #WalkingAway from Trump to create a #YangGang. No, really. Look it up.

R4: Concern troll is concerned. ESPECIALLY since the abortion things is completely fake and this guy is not going to be the nominee. But keep being concerned, concern troll.

Article. The good news is that at least is looks like Trump is bleeding support from some of that base.

WTF? Where did that even come from?

Another asian guy who panders to white people. No wonder some white nationalists support him.

I would not be proud of that alt-right following if I were him.

I think he's potentially useful, R10. If for nothing else, to siphon away support from Trump. Hey, every little bit counts.

How will he siphon away support from Trump? He's not going to be the nominee.

Would it count as a vegetable in school lunches?

R14He already has created divisions on 4Chan and other such dreadful places, some of Trump's most hardcore base, and who, btw, played a role in Trump gaining momentum and becoming a thing. Whatever, he won't get the nomination but I like that he's creating discord over there.

Andrew Yang pressed on support from white nationalists...

R10, I think a lot them also like him because of his 1k per month universal income policy.

Why is he wasting our time?

Of course a bunch of young, shut-in video gamers will support a candidate who offers them $1,000 free dollars per month. It is amusing to see them switch allegiance from Trump, who has done nothing for them, to a fellow techbro.

Do they think they can buy themselves a skinny, beautiful virgin GF with that guaranteed $1k/month?

Decriminalize means be more like Portugal: no more prison for possessing small amounts, but it's a civil infraction requiring rehab. It's works in Portugal. Trafficking and distributing is still criminal.

It' a good idea to experiment with, but it's federal law, so a single state can't actually do anything to try it out.

I dunno, but the Democrats should be pushing him in those circles and exploiting that division. The Republicans certainly do it with us. They see a rift, they exploit it by pitting Dem people and candidates and issues against each other, creating chaos in their favor. Dems need to stop being so damn by the book and learn to play dirty.

His hot campaign manager.

He's a hilarious candidate. Free money, legal pot, legal drugs. A good number of deplorables would eat that up.

Some of their memes are kind of funny, at least the ones at the expense of Donald.

That cartoon makes the First Whore look better than she does in real life, R26.
