lowkey i think yang didn't do a bad job. Despite the fact that I'm pretty sure he got the least amount of time (I think he only got 3 questions?) he refrained from joining the interrupt/trying to talk over people bandwagon. I mean, the fact that he got almost no speaking time obviously limits things but I'd place him miles ahead of Hickenlooper, for example.


He SHOULD have been jumping in. You are competing to become the Democratic nominee, and if you get the nomination, you'll have to go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump. Yang looked like he didn't want to be there. He was HORRIBLE, and the only reason I didn't rank him dead last was because Williamson is certifiably insane.

To follow up on this, apparently there was some fuckery going on with Yang's mic last night. At least, that's what Yang's camp is claiming.

Also got sent this video about it:

In which you can clearly see him raise his hand and open his mouth after Bernie finishes talking, but no sound. And yet Biden clearly turns and look at him. Very much looks to me like he was trying to speak up, but had no working mic to do so with and thus got ignored. Very fucking hard to jump in when that's the case.

Seems highly unfortunate (And not in the 'oh no what could anybody have done about this, how unlucky' way) to me. Especially with the way they let Williamson or whatever the fuck her name is ramble incoherently and waste everybody's time.
