I've never heard of "No labels".
So I've read their manifesto, and they're just the ususal both sides-ing centrists/conservatives.

It's funded by people who are typically Republican/Centerist donors. They're talking about possibly running Joe Manchin as a third party candidate. Aka, the whole thing is just an obvious attempt to run someone who might pull away enough votes from Biden for Trump to win again.
Manchin is a corrupt money funneling bag of shit. He has no stances, no morals, no real platform. He loves oil, coal and gas because he gets paid to. I think he has interest in a coal plant even.
So, to these clowns, the problem with a biden-trump rematch is biden? Wtf.
Their top guy is a former Trump donor
Whoa, no way. Now that surprised me.
In other surprising new, did you know fire is hot?
- So, we have a right-wing party and a far-right-wing party. What other candidate should we present?
- Right-wing candidates are in, we should add another one.
- An unlabelled candidate which pretends to be centrist and is actually conservative?
- How about a left wing candidate?
Window crash
Welp, there goes any respect I had for the guy.
He's basically Elon Musk, says some pseudo intelligent shit. No real substance. Agrees with some popular things normal politicians won't give a platform. He's just smart enough to not openly say all the crazy rich douchebag shit Elon screams from the rooftops.
There is a turning point in the lives of some people where they can decide to either stay a relatively good person who is well-liked enough to be known as that, or go balls to the wall levels of obsession with staying super relevant.
They had that one taste of fame and they just can’t let it go enough to not become the villain.
Andrew Yang now stands at that fork in his path, and the dark side is proving to be very tempting. Don’t do it, Andrew. Take a step back…history does not look fondly upon Ross Perot.
Anyone who cooperates with ‘No Labels’ at this point of US politics is a fucking traitorous shit enabling the potential end of democracy.
Maybe Biden isn’t your favourite cup of tea, but if Trump or some Trumpesque-turd get in, its fucking game over.
Who?
A grifter.
Did I miss some news about yang?
No, he's always been a grifter.
What changed? Last I heard of him he was the hip liberal candidate for NYC mayor
Nothing changed. He's always been a grifter.
His political platforms have always been a combination of buzzwords and nothing else of substance.
Even Trump had a more coherent platform while running in 2016. Trump didn't write any of it, and barely mentioned it, but he had it.
Yang didn't really have anything beyond more buzzwords.
Really? I remember him being outed as a “centrist” (right winger) during that election
Possible. I'm not American, so didn't really follow it closely
As I said, nothing changed. He was always a grifter and never a "hip liberal". That was the grift.
You must have missed his Crypto party
Both, I'd assume.
Seriously what constituency does "No Labels" really serve? And by that, I mean a human constituency, not a corporate one.
People who think Biden is too far to the left, but aren't openly racist enough to call themselves Republicans or Libertarians yet.
Not surprising since he agrees with them nowadays.
