Hes not that sane if he’s promoting a $1000/mo universal income scam.
That’s the point.
Yang is more realistic & rational than any other Democrat candidate, leading the pack by being a coherent nutcase, rather than completely delusional.
I’ve the notion of “if you’re going to do it wrong, at least do it right.” Yang gets that: if you’re going to impose a socialistic redistribution of wealth (a profoundly wrong-headed goal), at least do it by ensuring everyone gets a poverty-line income (which is a terrible idea, but far better than the current bureaucratic behemoth of a welfare state).
