I really like Andrew Yang, but I'm not convinced he's going to get the nomination.
He's been popular with people who are paying attention, but as the collective awareness of candidates expands in the coming months I don't know how many will be swayed by him. I don't think the nation is mentally ready for UBI - it would be a helpful policy and we could benefit from it, but I can't imagine it getting widespread support from any 40+ demographic.
Maybe I'm wrong, though? My city is a blue island in a sea of red (eliminate electoral college btw), so maybe I'm getting a biased sample. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Yang is going to win over some of the more centrist dems
