Andrew Yang gets snubbed

  1. Take the larger point being made and stop feverishly shilling for the dnc as your lefty script requires.

  2. I can only go by what you say so don't get defensive... Yang was not bumped for Kasich.

    Also you trhink Yang should be picked simply because he is Asian though he has no standing in the party or any political office.

    Nice that you got all unhigned and started ranting like a child when I simply asked if your claim is true that Kasich bumped Yang.

  3. Oh, I simply made a couple salient points which you were unable to address because they were not covered in your lefty script.

    Not sure what exactly is ranting there.

    You become a knee-jerk shill for the dnc more and more each day. You don't even bother to do your defensive rap anymore about how you are not really a lefty. Thank you. It was always a waste of time.

  4. What in my post is a lefty shill...

    all I said is Yang is not entitled to speak at the DNC...please highlight all the left shill in that simple sentence...

  5. You immediately jumped to defend the dnc's half-arsed decision and immediately jumped to denigrate Andrew Yang even though he is not even remotely as much of a loser some who will be given top speaking slots. Read your own words below.

    "Why is Yang expected to speak...he has played no role what so ever in the Democratic Party or politics or even held a position. Making a half assed run at the nomination does not count..."

  6. Yeah, I like Yang but he never had any real shot to gain any votes in that large pool so it was just a billionaire blowing money for no reason. Did he really think he had a shot or was he just looking for a way to get out there since it costs him nothing relative to his fortunes. Same with Carly Fiorina and Howard Schultz.....rich people looking for public adoration by changing lanes. Look at Trump, he won and all he cares about is ratings and being popular, not doing the job. The job was never the point.

    I don't need to defend the DNC but I don't need to baby Yang who think he was entitled to a speaking invite to a virtual convention.

    That is not some lefty shill but saying grow a pair... He coudl have said he would love to speak if given the chance rather than feel he was snubbed as though he was entitled to it.

  7. Well Biden and AOC are going to be featured speakers. Andy could continue to counter the image that there is no brain power in the dem party- but their campaign not mine.

    And -Andy's piping up aside- if left to themselves, does the dnc have any asian speaker on the planned list? if so, I have not seen it so far. No one should have to hold up cue cards for them to do that even though we know that black radicals run the party now. Also, there are some who are asserting that Kamala Harris covers the asian "requirement." That dog ain't going to hunt.

    Let the viewers decide.

  8. Here is the speaker list so far. I don't think Yang has enough position to bump anyone so far.

    Monday: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (a Republican who ran against Donald Trump in the 2016 GOP primary) and former first lady Michelle Obama.

    Tuesday: Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former President Bill Clinton and Jill Biden, the candidate's spouse.

    Wednesday: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former President Barack Obama and California Sen. Kamala Harris, the just-named vice presidential nominee.

    Thursday: New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the Biden family and the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

  9. I see.

    No representation from the asian community as discussed.

    As discussed, no representation from the asian community.

    Interesting to see Sally Yates is somehow special. I guess Joe just told you who his AG pick will be.

  10. Do they have to check eveyr single box, I thought GOp was against having other races at a convention.

    Are you now against Joe because there is no Asian speaker?

    What about Eskimo.....European....or Peruvian
