Seriously though, his soundbite on climate change was awesome. And he made the salient point that immigration gets scapegoated, but it's really automation that's taking away many blue-collar jobs.

I like Yang & his policies. I recently read an article that suggested he was "the most dangerous Democratic candidate!"

That seems ummm excessive? That said I am kind of terrified of 'geo-engineering' in principle, but not really in any informed kind of way.
