Yesterday evening in the Democratic Debates Andrew Yang made a key observation in his closing remarks: the debates and their coverage are a reality show, which is exactly how we wound up with a reality show president last time. From the format, to the phrasing of questions to the decisions how much airtime to give to candidates that’s exactly what it happening again. Thankfully we have the internet to get out messages. So if you care about policies that are not left or right but forward into the future, support Andrew now.

PS Andrew also drew a crucial connection between universal basic income and the climate crisis, which I will pick up in a separate post.
