Account that supported Andrew Yang during 2020 Presidential run. I still believe Human-Centered Capitalism is the solution to America's problems.

This is a mood.

@YangVets The fact many blue check leftists were gloating Yang's loss rather than be deeply disturbed by Eric Adams winning told me all I needed to know. I'm left-leaning in many aspects, but I want nothing to do w/ these 'progressives'. Very little attempts to find common ground w/ YG.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

Sweet.

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@marwilliamson Good luck M! Looking forward to the joint @AndrewYang events! 😍

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@AmericnDreaming Yeah, its fucking crazy out here.

Things aren't getting better.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Support unconditional basic income NOW, before these numbers grow much larger.

@ZaidJilani Heads up @ImmuneHack interesting thread.

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@mookjuice I'm down with harshly critiquing both. They deserve it.

But there's a strain online that's mostly right-leaning that goes "Aztec's were evil so Cortez was AWESOME!" which is in line with your "lots of peopel in my sphere" comment and I find that obnoxious.

@KnowledgeArchiv @Anc_Aesthetics Good thread.

@JStein_WaPo "— Domestic programs frozen next year, up 1% ‘25. Inflation-adjusted cut
— Boosts defense, VA $"

Just curious, anyone know which of these 2 DHS falls into? Not finding clarity in Google or ChatGPT

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@UsingLyft I think there's a lot to why we keep voting left (prominence of Unions, lack of trying from Repubs, etc)

I'm not saying there's none of what you're saying, but I think the "tired of this s--t" group of us is larger than media shows

Anyway I really enjoy your posts. Later bro

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@UsingLyft I'm thinking part of the answer to his question is the medium. Most Americans aren't on Twitter. The black lefties and black pols who defend crime are disproportionately here. Most normal black people who want criminals in jail aren't here and don't get media exposure.

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@ZaidJilani Yeah he's online too much.

Go on the street and talk to actual black people in Baltimore, Detroit, St Louis, and you'll see they feel very differently about police and criminal justice than their online and lefty pol brothas and sistas.

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@jakeshieldsajj Your take is a very online one

Black Twitter and black Leftie Pols (I repeat myself) are soft on criminals, hate cops, etc

Your average black person IRL, while more skeptical of police/the crim just system than most white people, don't support criminals and want safe streets

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

@ImmuneHack There's no middle ground between beating your child "senseless" and letting them become tyrants?

There's no, "You're grounded. And I'm taking your PS4 until you do your homework, and if you talk to me like that again, I'll lock it up for a month" option?

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

I've been saying this forever. There's a market to be gained. People on the right keep complaining about not getting the black vote...and then their politicians never show up to our areas...and then they never get the black vote...and then their politicians never show up...and...

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

First step to success for the GOP in 2024: show up. America First includes *all* Americans. Productive day in the South Side of Chicago.

[AfricanAmericansForYang🧢⬆️ @BlacksForYang]

You think this is an accomplishment?

Why is our civilization trash?

[Kounkuey [KDI] @Kounkuey]

It's official! La Sombrita, our shade and lighting pilot for the @LADOTofficial Gender Equity Action Plan, was unveiled this morning

[Glenn Loury @GlennLoury]

I can't say it more plainly than this: We need to stay in touch with reality. Race relations will not be improved through denial. The cultural pathologies afflicting poor black communities must be addressed.

@therabbithole @ImmuneHack I agree that data isn't racist.

But I wish members of the right would recognize there are fringe among them who use crime data as proof of genetic inferiority of all black people, and a lot of times its not the DATA but the claims of inferiority that people are pushing back on

@ZaidJilani Thoughts on @VivekGRamaswamy?
