i was bernie 2016 and supported bernie this election season until i saw andrew yang’s policies and the attacks on him from what people call “woke” white berners is literally just insane

just stop being a fucking ass. bernie has never once called yang’s policies “regressive” like some of his toxic supporters do. in fact bernie said ubi was “too progressive”

i’m convinced many of u are just mad bc u realized u like yang’s policies more than bernie, but are so passionate about being a berner that u don’t wanna admit it
i have many friends that are die hard “bernie or bust” and said they would vote for yang if he was polling betterPrikaži ovu nit -
thinking that only people that work 40 hours a week should not be living in poverty is ridiculous, and actually REGRESSIVE. what about struggling artists, homeless people, stay at home dads and moms, people working part time to raise their kids?

so get off ur fucking high horse if u actually think an old white man (with all due respect to bernie) who believes no one working a full time job should be in poverty is more progressive than someone who wants to completely eliminate poverty for EVERYONE regardless of job status

seriously the nerve of some rich white straight male to criticize andrew yang for ubi bc it will “gut the social safety net” that doesn’t even exist. u have NEVER been on welfare. it sucks in this country. disabled people can’t get jobs or get married without being kicked off

not to mention ubi stacks with several welfare programs. so get off ur fucking high horse and stop having so much fucking pridepic.twitter.com/LyaGGZlR76

just to add something else, berners purposely take yang and chappelle’s interview about ubi as “problematic” and try to pretend chappelle was saying people would rather buy groceries than have healthcare, when he was actually saying people should have healthcare AND money to put-

-food on the table. these constant attempts from berners to “cancel” yang are ridiculous and hypocritical considering bernie’s very problematic anti-immigration stances in the past.

this was as recent as 2013, and is eerily similar to trump’s stance on immigration - that immigrants are taking american jobspic.twitter.com/LUMItreKTW

but yeah u guys can defend ur white savior candidate for spreading anti-immigrant propaganda as recently as 2013 while telling an asian american man that broke down barriers in the political world to drop out and endorse an old white man

okay i’m muting it now! just be clear i do NOT hate bernie. i just cannot stand SOME of his supporters trying to erase a poc candidate telling him to drop out and using false smears against him . goodnight!pic.twitter.com/NTXx7vpUFm

okay - adding again. one of these false smears is that he doesn’t support universal healthcare. like people seriously are out here believing this shit. all i have to say to that is please go to yang2020 dot com and catch uppic.twitter.com/7vDRId83wn

people in my mentions saying that a federal job guarantee is better than ubi LISTEN - a federal job guarantee does not recognize stay at home parents, starving artists, and caregivers. a federal job guarantee will just give the rich elite more excuses to call poor people “lazy”

if ur solution to an artist trying to make ends meet while doing what they love is to “go take ur guaranteed job” instead of giving them money to support themselves and their art, then ur thinking is very backwards.

we’re about to get real deep but i was in an extremely abusive relationship for 2 years of my life. i wasn’t allowed to work or go to school. a federal job guarantee would have done nothing for me, universal basic income would have given me the funds to leave and start over.

as u can see this is also about abuse and rape victims. i, an abuse victim, wasn’t allowed to work, and many rape victims struggle going to work because of the physical and emotional trauma they went through. there is no welfare for that and bernie sure as hell isnt proposing it

all i’m saying is ur worth in this country shouldn’t be measured by ur employment status

also, addicts. sanders believes we should send addicts to prison instead of treatment, yang believes the opposite. also, ubi will benefit so many addicts getting out of jail, and they won’t fall back into addiction.https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/462249-krystal-ball-calls-on-sanders-to-follow-yangs-lead-on-war-on-drugs …

and u can’t say “why, they’re just going to buy drugs”. addicts don’t want to be addicted, they want to get clean and stop feeling hopeless. if u get out of jail with no funds and no one to depend on, ur gonna fall straight back into the cycle of addiction
