Presidential hopeful and world’s coolest Asian dad, Andrew Yang, has been beating all expectations by rising from being the underdog of the 2020 Presidential Election to the leader of the #YangGang.
From attending Comic Con to getting boozy with his supporters by serving alcoholic boba at his rallies, Andrew Yang is the hero we’ve been dreaming of to bring America back together.
If you’re still not a part of the #YangGang, here are 20 reasons that prove, without a doubt, that Andrew Yang is the most lovable and badass U.S. presidential candidate to have ever walked this Earth.
2. He literally wants to give us free money and you’d have to be an idiot to turn that down.
Paying for the Freedom Dividend is much easier than many think. It would not cause much inflation, would be good for business, and help millions of Americans towards better opportunities in life. Good companies invest in their people. It is time we do the same. pic.twitter.com/rMHge838l5
I am for Equal Pay, Paid Family Leave and on-site and subsidized childcare. I’ve seen how deranged corporate America is towards women; we should do all we can to make it better. Our lack of federally funded parental leave puts us in the ranks with Lesotho and Swaziland. pic.twitter.com/z375yu2z2l
Millions of American women are stuck in exploitative or abusive jobs or relationships because they lack the economic freedom to walk away. The Freedom Dividend of $1,000/month would empower women and enable them to directly improve their situations. pic.twitter.com/AlqBbMKkzU
As the son of immigrants attacks on immigrant communities pain me on on a personal level. Everyone wants to make a better life for their families. There is a place for everyone. There is no place for hate.
As the son of immigrants I understand what it’s like to make a life in a new country. There is a place for everyone. There is no place for hate. Love and Humanity First. pic.twitter.com/LelBU6x8vs
Most Americans predict that automation in the workplace will increase inequality between the rich and the poor and will not result in new, better-paying jobs https://t.co/CCxq4zdecbpic.twitter.com/uVkMCvgksy
I should start introducing myself as Andrew Yang of House Yang, One Millionth of His Name, King of Nothing in Particular, Securer of The Bag, Father of Humans, Entrepreneur of the People, the Unbought, the Bringer of Abundance.
8. He also cares about young people’s (and everyone else’s) mental health.
We are experiencing a mental health crisis in America: record levels of anxiety, depression, addiction and even suicide. My brother is a psychology professor and I am passionate about getting more Americans proper resources. I’ll do that as President https://t.co/DmzrPWIWON
Depression among young people has skyrocketed https://t.co/V8iqWCTuvG we should take this very seriously and try to treat and strengthen from every angle @jean_twenge
9. He serves alcoholic boba at his fundraising dinners. If this is what he can do now, just imagine what amazing thing he could come up with next as PRESIDENT.
Climate change is an existential threat that is about to speed up. Real solutions are needed. This is an area where our government has to lead to shift market incentives. Kudos to the lawmakers who are stepping up to propose big steps in the right direction.
11. He wants to give autistic children and their parents the support they deserve.
I would be thrilled to give autism the attention it deserves. It has been long overdue. As a parent with an autistic child, I know what families go through. We have to invest in autistic children and adults and not leave families on their own. pic.twitter.com/57TdDxOXly
