I just donated $10 to Andrew Yang because I want him to be on the debate stage.

He was interviewed on the Newshour. I didn't know anything about him until now. I don't think he is presidential material, but I do like some of his (many) ideas, especially $1000/person. I want to see them debated. Probably too early to make the platform, but I remember the protests against the Vietnam war that took place around the town flagpole for literally years. That was the kind of thing that built momentum.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

As you may have heard, he's not really running - but he wants to debate.

The man's got a lot to say (always has).
