The field for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary has over a dozen declared candidates, including widely known names such as Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders. And on top that there are people like former Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Vice President Joe Biden who could enter the race at any time and immediately be contenders. And yet all of these voices are extremely similar in one crucial way: they all believe that we should fix the Industrial Age society we live in today. Whether that is with a pro-business agenda (if Bloomberg runs) or with a socialist agenda (Sanders) or something in-between, it is fundamentally thinking that is rooted in the past.
But there is one candidate, Andrew Yang, who offers a truly forward looking alternative with Universal Basic Income as one of his three core platform elements. Andrew knows we need to finally get past the Industrial Age
So head over to Yang2020 now and be part of the insurgency of new ideas. Get more Yang for your buck!
