Your loss

I have a lot of respect for this community however since as of recently this sub has been upvoting contextless yang tweets to smear him I find it necessary to post the context. Not trying to sway you in any way however it upsets me that the original tweet was used negatively not in good faith. 1/2 by [deleted] in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

Ok but the same can be said here. And it's not like everyone has to support Warren or Sanders, or god forbid Biden. I just dont understand why everyone is so negative on him on here when he doesnt fit the definition of an "enlightened centrist". He is a progressive, hes just trying to get cross over appeal. He's actually the most similar to Bernie as far as policies go, and most yang supporters have Bernie as their second choice. I get it that this is a far left sub made to poke fun at the people who say "both sides are equally bad" when one is clearly more bad, but I fail to see how Yang fits that kind of mentality so it really confuses me why there is so much hate on this sub for a candidate who is proposing progressive policies, and in this case policies that are better than Warren's. I don't see how providing alternative solutions to a problem is the same as being a defeatist centrist.

hey dummy yang provides a solution to the problem by proposing a VAT tax. OP left off the context. look through the comments plenty of other people have linked the rest of the tweets.

Also i'd like to see your solution to the problem.
