Yang is the right man for President to go forward!!!!!
lapointe claudette Absolutely, but most people are lost in their "tribalism", so it's going to take a lot of work from the people of whom realize what needs to be done to bring people out of their tribal nature.
YES! Fix our broken $#!T👍
What a great person n has such a knowledge of power in all aspects. A very charismatic, charming and proactive an individual..love to listen his thoughts as always..should elect for President of the world. I wil vote him now.
John Lennon would be proud! Of Andrew Yang!👍❤️
Looking forward to watching this one. In the meantime, some quick feedback that I've been wanting to share: Can you please orient the table such that it is perpendicular to the the line of sight of the camera? Additionally, can you center the camera such that the Yang and his guest are equidistant from the center screen? These slight asymmetries throws off the look and feel and fixing these things would help it to have a professional touch.
Also, let's please fill up that bookshelf! Perhaps fill it with books written by people that Yang has had as guests in the past, maybe some retro 80's things to pay homage to things that have influenced Yang, etc. Also, that bookshelf would benefit greatly from some backlighting. Right now, the bare, dark bookshelf looks a bit sad.
I wanted more of a "Chapter 10" in your book, Andrew! More of a plan to make this real.
Getting 10s of millions of Americans to sign up to a new party seems much harder than getting 30-50 thousand Iowans to show up on a Tuesday
True story: a multi ethnic multi cultural society, requires a multiple political party system to feel represented.
Interesting thought when he said get rid of primaries altogether.
"I'd like more than two choice for my cereal."
(1:02:46) Constructive institutionalism ("the tendency among leaders to state publicly and even hold the belief that everything will work out, despite quantitative evidence to the contrary, coupled with an inability to actually address a given institution's real problems") seems to be rooted in a deeper problem of human nature, namely the tendency to *overestimate our own agency* and *underestimate the environment,* and the way the conditions of the environment shape our available options.
Political leaders seem especially vulnerable to this pitfall. The amount of energy and self-belief it takes to run for office and go through everything they go through predisposes politicians to overestimate their own agency. You have to be a little bit of an egotist to do what they do and to jump through all those hoops, as Yang observes in his book.
This can be seen for example in Obama's remarks at COP26. The fact that Obama got on a plane with his secret service detail and flew across the Atlantic, just to tell a bunch of people who were already passionate about climate change to keep doing what they were doing, has to be on some level an overestimation of his own agency and the power of his words. If Obama really cared about climate change, he would direct his energy in a more productive manner towards democracy reform, so that Manchin and Big Coal would no longer be able to hold up progress at home.
Really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks!
Yang for the love of god keep it up.
Very, very good!! Man thank you guys!
Go Lee! -postmodern man
Here's my problem with all of this. If you're in a parliamentary democracy for instance, our neighbors to the north, the way that you get into power or share power is bye-bye forming a coalition government. I don't really understand how progressives caucusing with the Dems or Libertarians caucusing with the Republicans is different in a practical sense. I'm not even convinced that the gears move slower under our system. The problem is that no one can build a coalition that pulls in more than 51 or 52%. That sort of thing doesn't automatically get better under a multi-party regime.
Maybe, but why stay with the system we have when it is broke as s**t?
Why would they call it "thermostat politics" and not "pendulum politics"? Better alliteration better analogy.
@45:00 yes get rid of primaries altogether
2.1k views in less than 24 hours? I think the UA-cam algorithm is slowing down this channel. Clearly, the establishment wants to keep the status quo.
I would have liked to hear Yang's response to Drutman saying he's against open primaries, but he glossed over it.
Love the content. But I’m very distracted by the sound foam that isn’t square. The installer should be fired. No matter his actual role. 😂
Alright, how do I get this going in MA?
I could see a right-of-center Charlie Baker-style candidate, running as a Forwardist, in Massachussetts, and winning. Fiscally responsible, with a bit more of a reform minded approach to governance, socially liberal, opposed to right-wing stupidity but not exactly on board with banning Abe Lincoln and willing to say so. A reform oriented moderate could do very well here.
@@swordarmstudios6052 I’d vote for that candidate in an instant!
Yang and Sanders is price less
The fact that those colored squares in the background are not lined entirely kind of bugs me. Not normally OCD like that, but it's really obvious given the color scheme.
I wish you discussed the way in which Dems undercut the Green Party in court, as an example of the battle a third party faces.
I'm a Canadian system reformers aiming to bring PR to Canada.
American reformers will face brutal undercutting, legal tactics and blame for election losses. Electoral reform requires a hard hat and steel toed boots.
Forward should consider a strategy to support other parties like the Greens to try to get 4-6 parties vying for votes. Another strategy that can break the two-party doom loop is a regional party. While regional parties are divisive they tend to do well in a single-member plurality system as the concentration of votes to win seats is clustered closely together by geography.
Please look up the Fairvote movement in Canada and the Make Votes Matter movement in the UK, for ideas to get PR.

Brave of Andrew to create a third, corporate party 👏🏼
It seems you’re very happy with the status quo
You're wrong again 👎
