Andrew Yang to leave the Democratic Party

[Ocelot II]

3. Yang is a bright guy and I think he means well but he sucks at politics.

In our system, fucked-up as it is, third parties are either completely ineffective or else they function as spoilers, and while Yang might attract some support he isn't going anywhere in politics by associating with or forming one. Maybe he could get something going in a country that has a parliamentary system, but if he wants to do something useful he could either support Democrats or maybe use his money to set up a charitable foundation to fund STEM education for poor and/or minority kids.
