Is Andrew Yang Pandering to Voters With Far Fetched Ideas?

I am at risk of angering the Yang Gang with this post.

Andrew Yang is the technologically savvy, entrepreneurial and progressive candidate. He has branded himself as the "big idea" candidate with positions including Medicare for all, the $1,000/month "Freedom Dividend", legalization of cannabis and even legalization of sex work.

Andrew Yang is supportive of cryptocurrency tax reform, which is incredibly good to hear.

Yang's positions are sure to make us question what is important in America, where we are headed and what can be done. The current system has failed us in some respects and Yang's high ideals solve some major problems.

Is Yang pandering to voters? In a way, his ideas appeal to progressives. He is running against Joe Biden for the Democratic candidate and is supported in the single digits. He represents a new hope for the wrong in our empire. Many have suffered from medical debt due to a lack of important coverage and a lack of stability that the Freedom Dividend would mend.

What is your position? Will you vote for Yang in 2020, or are you skeptical of the platform?

I wouldn't vote for him, but I do like him, I find many of his ideas quite interesting.

Yes, he speaks well in stating the problems, and then offers next to nothing to fix them. It's a bait and switch.
