I'm actually quite impressed with Yang, both in how he presents himself whenever he's asked questions on his platform, and some of his ideas. I can't see him winning with his UBI platform, but a lot of the things he identifies as the real problems facing America make sense to me. At least it will get people talking on some of the issues like automation, and actual real life solutions to climate change.
Other than the UBI thing, it feels like he's the candidate people wished Trump would be. An intelligent business person who's not a politician shaking up Washington. But where Trump is all bluster, a liar, and an incompetent idiot, Yang seems to be the opposite. Of course, it's yet to be seen if Yang would be able to deliver results if he was president, but the difference is, Yang at least looks like an intelligent person. Trump was always seen as an idiot.
