Elisa totally missing the point. We are not going to find 538 heros that will do what she says, including her if she got elected!

"we have Primordial brains, Medieval institutions, Godlike technology " Very accurate!

Hearing his voice again after 2 years reminds me during the Yang Gang era. I really wanted him to run again. We need someone who will address social issues at the ground level.

Elissa proves Andrew Yang's point with her own argument.

He is so logical in his approach this is why he was the first candidate (or politician) that I've ever donated money to cause he is going after real problems with simple solutions

Still Yang Gang 4 life

I really like Andrew Yang, his logic is pretty amazing, hopefully he will run again and maybe have a shot

Get out there *ANDREW* and do what you do best, educate everyone how our system is inefficient, and get some more solutions out there for everyone to talk about.

Yang, if you read these comments, to help get your point across better, remember that people don't actually know much about most things. Try stating that changing incentives is what will change the system at its core. When most people hear the word incentives, to them it's a side process, a payoff, something that helps people on the fence. It's not realized that it can mean a systematic driver of behavior.

Andrew needs to say more plainly that only a third party can advance a change in the system because otherwise it will be perceived as a partisan issue to benefit one side. And from there, many parties will be possible, requiring cooperation and compromise that can move things forward.

YangGang = Civil, humanitarian, love.

What do they find so hard to get? Why is she still talking about third party allowing extremism when the whole point is to get rid of the spoiler effect which allows that? Bill, on the other hand, seems to just be interested in Andrew taking controversial points, so that he can get his headlines and clickbait. A politician taking a reasonable approach and rooting for America and democracy is just so unthinkable to him that he's just not getting it. The questions he asks: "Why do you care about the Democratic Primary if you're not a Democrat anymore?"; what a dumb question. Well, Bill why do you do long segments on Trump and the Republican Party then? I think it's pretty clear that this is a partisan exercise to stomp down on the new party before it grows even bigger. If you're paying attention, you'll notice that most of the attacks are coming from the Democratic Party and their affiliates (e.g. MSNBC). Yang called out the way the Democratic Party benefited from the two party system, and exploited the two party system, by supporting extremist Republicans over moderate ones. They are really showing their true colors. I'm supportive of President Biden, but I'm really starting to sour on the Democratic Party. Yang is right, we need more choices, and while I support President Biden, I agree with Yang that the Democrats should settle their uncertain succession, and I agree that Gov. Whitmer is a strong contender. Real people are worried about the future of America and American Democracy, while Democrats are worried about the future of their own party and power. We need to change the system.

Meanwhile Paulin -and others- say never vote third party. Yang gang!

Biden should have made Andrew a Cabinet Minister, it was a big mistake he didn't and in fairness, Andrew deserved the opportunity given his performance in the Presidential primary. I love Andrew Yang, he's a decent human being and his ideas need a hearing, but I'm not sure about the third party.

Sam Altman (cofounder of Open A.I.) is wrapping up a major study on UBI and stated that it will be needed. Yang Gang 2024!

Love yang🫶🏾 yang gang 4life

UBI all the way baby!!! It's the beginning of great beginnings!

Yanggang all the way

Something else I'd like to bring up is that with our current 2 party system, it thrives on competition, which in turn is hurting us, not helping us. We need a party that's focused on unification and in turn, allows for us to make society BETTER for all.

I am so happy to see you back in front of a camera. Such a breath of fresh air!

As someone from Scotland we used to really look up to the US, like a big brother, now it's as if big brother started smoking crack. I have to say I'm glad the US has someone like Andrew Yang who speaks sense. Just wish he got more exposure.

I'm still YangGang. Yang continues to be right. Respect.

I want him to run again

Good to see you out there trudging into the jungle of biased mass media again Andrew-keep it up; you'll get through to more in the silent majority with persistence

America lost a great opportunity to become a sane nation when the existing political system prevented Andrew Yang from becoming the president last time.

Just came here to say Yang Gang.

So she's basically saying to save Democracy we must ensure only one party ever wins!

What an excellent, smart discussion. Thank you Bill Maher and panelists.

We will never have a third party until we change our voting system to something like ranked choice voting.

Yang had the perfect opportunity to talk about Ranked Choice Voting as it would have answered the major questions in one blow. RCV is one of the FWD party's big talking points.

I just can't understand anyone who continues to support the 2 party system. We've been doing it for how long and it's gotten how much better? Looks like 0 to me. 350mill+ Americans do not comfortably fit into just 2 ideological ideas/parties...

Yang you broke my heart

the issue with not doing ubi is that if people continue to work fulltime without the companies giving back to the workers sufficiently no one will feel secure enough to have children in the future, people can barely think straight these days as it is, our phones have too much information and we're also having to go through life. We're producing a generation of terrible voters and decision makers.

Yang plays too nice. Politics is getting filled with fascists.. time to take the gloves off

The way this guy talk's, makes me want to vote for him.

"So, you're for good things and against bad?" "Yup." Shock and awe ensues

Still a proud member of the Yang gang.

Mayer and Slotkin couldn't get ranked choice voting and plurality representation to save their lives.

Yang gang 💙

Love these two standing up to each other! Bravo!

It's too bad Bill is stuck on policy. Yang explained how leaning into specific policy is detrimental right now and the point was completely missed. The real change the Forward Party makes is in how it's pushing against party primaries and how it promotes strong candidates regardless of political party, which moves us away from the current system that incentivizes polarization

She seems nieve

I always felt like Yang has the ideas, he just need a political advisor on his team who is ruthless and able to get him in the right places.

Yang 2024

People are the problem, so let's replace the people with people. Great idea lady! Why didn't anyone ever think of that!

Man, I do not regret the money spent on this man’s campaign. First time I’ve ever spent money for anything political and something I truly believe in. Really was hoping for another run but that’s alright.

He is so smart!! What are we waiting for!!! Yang 2024!!!

Love YANG!! I voted for you & glad I did. I am so horrified with Biden.

I don’t know about the feasibility of UBI or a third party but Andrew is such a genuine, reasonable, thoughtful, and intelligent man that I trust him far more than any other politician.

We need him so bad right now. He could easily win now.

Is she serious?

Wow she opened her mouth and got absolutely DESTROYED

Yang gets FLUSHED.

It seems like she thinks her current senate run gives her more relevant experience than Andrew’s presidential and largest city in America mayoral run. 😆

We need this guy as President.

You start with a vision and work out the specifics later. He has the vision; a unified country capable of self-correcting.

She said that by handing over the government to a third party is like handing over to a fascist regime. I think she forgot about the whole checks and balance system.

I read his book, 'The War on Normal People'. Andrew Yang definitely gets it. I hope one day the World's countries have the sense to elect people like him and what he stands for.

She proved him right by her statements

If people are still confused about the party then just keep it simple. Forward Party is about keeping democracy and ending polarization. Two main platforms. 1) Open primaries. 2) Rank choice voting.

The problem is Andrews ideas are the smartest ones in the room, and people don't understand them. Only a small handful of people understands what he's talking about.

Andrew you are rock keep up. We with you

Canada has a multiparty system Mexico has a multiparty system UK has a multiparty system France has a multiparty system Germany has a multiparty system Japan has a multiparty system Korea has a multiparty system Israel has a multiparty system Australia has a multiparty system New Zealand has a multiparty system Taiwan has a multiparty system Ireland has a multiparty system None of these countries elected a Trump; America did. This lady (seating congressperson and running for senate): oh no, we can't have a multiparty system because it will lead to extremism (we're only 2 years removed from a Trump Presidency and he's running again next year) Clearly if there's a system that allows extremism, it's America's

Conversation that needed to be had Thanks.

Andrew Yang had a good reaction from Repubilicans like Tucker and Ben. I watched major interview of him and made me think he was best candidate from Democrats. Better than Joe Biden. Today's problem of politics is they talk too much about ideologies while peices are rising and normal people are starving. This is global problem. They want to think beyond while they don't have much energy in their body. But Andrew Yang, he speaks for people. People who have to pay taxes, buy groceries, work to live. We need politicians like him everywhere on this Earth.

Great conversation. Mr. Yang has diagnosed a big problem (2 parties is a struggle to the death, while the rest of us are helpless,) but having been burned when 3d party took votes from my favored party, I am afraid of the risk. A third party needs infrastructure, campaign experts, marketers, policy experts, academics, and people who can govern so voters are reassured. It needs a track record, standing. I think Yang is on to something that a big Democratic Presidential primary would be interesting, but scary. The stakes are so high.

My hope, is that Andrew Yang will move forward to the front. He's well-directed & capable. My thought is that the Biden administration should've offered Yang a position, but it didn't. We look forward to his future.

Andrew Yang does say some smart things - even if the 3rd party idea may not work in such a divided US - even though the reality is up to a third of the population may well be moderate, closer to the centre than to the fringes. His suggestion that Biden should complete his 4 year term having achieved the main goal, and be a bridge to the next generation, and be thanked and respected for doing so, is a very fine idea.

WE NEED A 3rd PARTY!!

I love you you Andrew. I’m not voting for your third party, but I still love you. ❤️🫂🙏🏽

It's absolutely impossible to end poverty until we are willing to end war.

Yang is the only candidate I've ever donated to. What the two other panelists fail to understand is if you want to radically change an element of the system (i.e. political party primaries), you're going to have to shock the system. I think the offering of a third party is a great idea right now, because this is a very different time than the Ross Perot era. The time for a "New Center" has been ticking for quite some time, ever since many working-class center-left voters felt disenfranchised from the Democratic party before the Trump inauguration. Of course this is a naturally threatening position to the Democrat and Republican party, because it introduces a new competitor. However the FWD party is actually addressing key issues that have been neglected for years that resonate with the needs of the middle class.

I noticed a pattern that when people hear Forward party they think it will disrupt the presidential race, when most of its energy is going towards the local level

I get that ppl get scared when thinking about a NEW, UNKNOWN, third option. I do too. But Yang is one of the few politicians that seem actually knowledgeable, thinking critically, and trying to actually solve problems instead of just navigating the politics game. Just saying

Yes! Pro Civilization!

Yang should have brought up the fourth industrial revolution.

Love seeing Yang on my screen again. Not Left, Not Right, Forward.

Poverty levels haven't changed because the METRICS have not changed - the actual buying power and ability to have good food and health care and a home HAVE changed and there are MORE in poverty who are working full time - like our military! Like Teachers !

I wish Bill would have pressed Andrew on UBI, instead of letting him evade. Why is Andrew avoiding his #1 policy idea?

im done with maher

Man if this guy was president we'd be in a such a better spot lol

All the old people crusade against UBI. They have no problem with us sending billions to other countries every year, not even counting the war, but God forbid we help our own people.

" Andrew Yang 4 President "

Glad to see the commenters aren't falling for the nonsense coming from her and Bill

Yang is by far the best person to run the country. He's so obviously more capable than any other candidate. But we will choose between a fascist and and ancient dude with good intentions.

watch this great video on UKposts "Why U.S. Corruption Is Here Forever" Excerpt from The War on Normal People, narrated by Andrew Yang

We need more than 2 choices. This lady is stirring fear that some 3rd party will be terrorist.

Love Yang

Yang gang here !!!

So many people are scared of change.

Brave is one thing. Technically competent is a whole other.

Yang could have explained this better. If he had stated, "Our ONE thing isn't UBI, it's getting ranked choice voting in all the states," then that would be the specific type of thing Maher was looking for. I get why Maher is frustrated how it all sounds kind of fluffy. "fix the system" type of vague language. In other words, I agree with both of them in this video!

It seems like Bill is struggling to understand when he has lot to deliver. He's one of the few who thinks of the problems thoroughly and bring out possible solutions, they may or may not work, but at least does not let the problems slip under the rug. Bill should invite him to Club Random to devote an hour picking up is brain.

Preach!

It seems to me that we really didn't get UBI , what we got was really nothing . Where the trillions of other dollars went , who knows, but not the people.

Andrew Yang was that hero... And democrats barely accepted him

Three minutes in and you can already tell who’s winning

He never addressed the initial question of why the FORWARD PARTY doesn’t address UBI and is just general

He would be a good President if we could get him back, we also need to put people in Senate and the House that are in his way of thinking or will be voting against him later.. Anyway we could also create petitions in some states to get UBI on Ballots or a Dividends of the GDP with a % rate attached.

The Republican Party started as a new, liberal alternative to the Establishment when their voices weren't being heard. The same thing can happen today. Poverty hasn't improved in 50 years in the richest country in the world. Time for some change.
