    I'm also puzzled by the decision not to give Yang prominence in the convention. He appeals to voters who aren't traditional Dems and also helps solidify the party's recent strength with Asian-Americans, a fast growing demographic. https://twitter.com/TheStalwart/status/1293243870214606848 …

        he has very limited actual support that appears larger due to the dynamics of social media.

        But I think that’s the point. His appeal is not just supporters and a lot of sideline Dems or independents would be interested in him. I am not a Yang supporter but was surprised at how many young people in LA were— and those were just the ones who were open about it.

        Yang represents Asian Americans like Harambe represented Dem voters in 2016.

        Never got to double digits in any polls, no delegates, no elected office … why not a speaking slot for Bennett or Bloomberg or Steyer or Gabbard?

        Because he activated a large number of non-voters and crossover voters who are otherwise uninterested in Biden, and he could probably convince some of them to stay with the party Or they could just not even let him try, sneer at those people, and write them off
