Yeah Haley has no chance. Nobody really does so long as Trump is there.

Jill Stein is back. :mellow:

I guess Russian sanctions are not biting hard enough.  :(

Andrew Yang ('memba him?!) endorses Dean Phillips for president



(I'm not sure if that's the real Andrew Yang, or one they stole from Madame Tussauds.)  While this might not look like much of a rally, but it is still better than the one he held where no one showed up.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

55 Things You Need to Know about Dean Phillips

Amazingly he agrees with Joe Biden's policy positions even more than Joe Biden does.  It's too bad they never debated:

Yang is basically just going milk toast conservative trying to get this third party thing going and have traction.

Which isn't how parties get created and have traction, he has to have some kind of position that gets people's attention and actually motivates them to vote against the established parties. That is why the Libertarians just sort of hang around at 2% decade after decade, they are least are radically different than what we currently have. Radically different in a stupid way, but still.

But he couldn't even make a "UBI party" work. So instead he is just allying with centrists and conservatives who don't like the current Republicans because of vibes mostly. That is never going to go anywhere.

Yang is just a professional dilettante, and always has been.  His heart may in the right place, but his head is nowhere to be found.

He hasn't been a serious person ever since he lost the mayoral election. I am not sure what he is trying to accomplish now.

And I see even here Phillips is overshadowed by Andrew Yang, the man who is endorsing him.  I should have answered Jacob with the Doonesbury line "He's never heard of you either."

He wasn't serious even before, he was just taken seriously by some.

To be fair, Americans elected Donald Trump, so being serious does not seem to be necessary for electoral success.

We had our reasons.

But it's all in the past now.
