Unfortunately I had to let Yang go

[Recursion]

I love his ideas, but there's just way too much alt-right and manosphere support for him for me to be part of this. This is why we can't have nice things.

1. Yin is there for you. nt

3. Nice! n/t

[forklift]

2. I see Yang

as a bright and promising candidate but I don't think he really wants to be POTUS.

His motivation (my suspicion which may or may not be true) is that he wants to be more widely known and the cheapest way to do that is to run for POTUS.

Sort of akin to entrepreneurs who come on Shark Tank not to get any investment but to showcase the product to millions on the network show without having to spend the astronomical sums required for network TV advertising.

4. I am less familiar with him than I should be. Why would there be alt-right and manosphere support

for a guy who is discussing basic income?

[Recursion]

5. Because the alt-right want a fully functioning socialist racist state

They want to be one of the nordic social democracies, including their demographics.

6. Ah. Thanks. That's quite terrifying, isn't it?

7. I find it difficult to believe

those type of people would support an Asian man, no matter what his policies are. Do you have any evidence of your statement? Any chatter those people are supporting him financially or otherwise? This feels like a backdoor attack.
