This will be the thread proving that @AndrewYang is a leftist. (Whether that be a SocDem, a Market Socialist, or something else.)
It will disprove a lot of things said about him, and bring to light his opinions on a lot of things, and prove his positions.
Letâs get started.

Letâs get started.
1. First off letâs start with a well known leftistâs views on Universal Basic Income. Marxist sociologist, Erik Olin Wright: https://twitter.com/talentsofyangg1/status/1310089161400086530">https://twitter.com/talentsof...
2. Bernie Sanders also supports a UBI, as stated by himself multiple times and compiled in this article by @scottsantens https://medium.com/basic-income/on-the-record-bernie-sanders-on-basic-income-de9162fb3b5c">https://medium.com/basic-inc...
3. Something many people knock Yang on is his healthcare stance. Many say he doesnât support a single payer system. The opposite is true actually! And he has said it many many times. Most notably on @TheHillofRoses hosted by @JonMunitz and Heidi Briones: https://twitter.com/thehillofroses/status/1280587287345192960">https://twitter.com/thehillof...
4. Yang supports worker Co-ops and said he supports âcollective ownership.â https://twitter.com/talentsofyangg1/status/1305704182838689792">https://twitter.com/talentsof...
He also mentions co-ops all over his policy pages. Like here in his renewable energy policy: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/renewable-energy/">https://www.yang2020.com/policies/...
And here in this video he expressed full support for them: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LK7Uafk83_o">https://m.youtube.com/watch...
5: Speaking of policies, he supports massively expanding workers unions and giving them more power in the 21st century: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/empowering-unions-in-the-21st-century/">https://www.yang2020.com/policies/...
He also supports collectively owned data as a property right: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/data-property-right/">https://www.yang2020.com/policies/...
He supports a program that would give ordinary citizens more bargaining power with the president and in the government as a whole: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/public-advisors/">https://www.yang2020.com/policies/...
