We all know Ratboy is CIA, but I’ve had the feeling since 2020 that Yang’s campaign was an op, or some libertarian donor freaks working an angle. His campaign targeted teenagers even more than actual voters. It was basically an attempt to use the promise of UBI (a libertarian UBI scheme at that) to try and steer attention and enthusiasm away from Bernie but also socialism more generally among younger people.
Someone looked at polling of socialism being more popular with the youths and badically ran a “hello fellow kids” campaign. The message was perfectly designed for less engaged, less experienced people, more online people, especially those too young to have to care as much about healthcare yet because they’re teenagers still living at home, and would look at a 1000 yang bucks as even more valuabe because they aren’t renting/living on their own.
