1. This surprises me. But, good for him.

I like his idea, although he only seems to have one good one.

2. Good for him - we have so many great folks running as Dems, I feel so proud!

I was looking at Yang's website the other day (I like his UBI ideas) and I was surprised to find over 60 issues on his platform! Wow.
