UBI is "not a policy position"?
Aside from climate change action, UBI is THE policy position of the 21st century.
Remember that there were many 2-time Obama voters who voted for Trump. Why did they do it? Because they were feeling disenfranchised by the status quo, and wanted to vote for an outsider who showed them a better future. That's where Yang, in my opinion, shines brighter than Trump, Biden, or any of the other candidates who ran for president this year.
