I had opined in a youtube comment that Andrew Yang lost the best opportunity to become a democratic presidential contender when he had failed to exert himself in the Iowa democratic presidential debate.
It is a sad end to what it could have been. The United States lost the opportunity to vote in a man who would make a hundred times better POTUS than the laughing stock Twitter Duck in the White House.
Below was what I had written in the youtube comment:
I may be wrong. But as a non-American who favours Yang, I think Yang has lost the best opportunity for him to make a mark and therefore become the Democratic presidential nominee. Yang is too much of a gentleman. If he does not want to jump into the debate by speaking out more, he is not going to be given the chance by the moderators.
Yang just mostly stood there like he wasn't sure why he was up there with the rest of the democratic presidential hopefuls. You are not going to impress voters if you don't show that you have much to say even if you might have hundreds of well thought out policies in your plan.
American voters, like most voters elsewhere, are not as smart as Yang wants to believe.
Yang is also wrong on Donald the Twitter Duck. You should hold a president accountable for serious crimes he commits while in office even if that means you can only indict him after he has left office. If you don't, that is what has led to situation where it is considered alright for a president to do what he wants to do as long as he thinks in his mind that it is good for the nation.
Well, a sitting president could very well think in his mind that it is good to take out a presidential candidate who opposes him because he decides that is good for the country.
In fact, the higher the office a person holds, the more accountable he should be held to.
It looks very likely that Donald the Twitter Duck will quack for another 4 long donkey years.
And all because voters are not so smart. They go for sound bites rather than substance.
