Implications that Pete has been inspired by Yang

A lot of people in the YangGang like to joke about Pete 'copying' Yang. I never put much stock in it, Pete's been a mayor for almost 8 years and has had a lot of political ideas and things he's championed during that time.

But dang if this video doesn't present some striking similarities. I wish the editing was better because a lot of this isn't meaningful, but the parts that are stand out.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

cause like so many experts agree - we are gonna need it.

I only wish we had gotten it done in the 70s, imagine how different things might be. Not just here but all over the world.
