I also think this is laughable. I mean Cheney's not taking away any Trump votes anyway as I just stated. But I'm sure there's plenty of leftists like me, even very politically active, that weren't keeping up with Yang as he faded from relevancy. They still might think he's a UBI-supporting liberal, at least at this moment in time.

But yeah, reading up on the Forward Party, what a garbage turn he took.

Time and time again has shown that Dem voters have absolutely rejected Yang in the voting booth, literally Tulsi Gabbard did better than him. Even coming in with all his newfound fame and attention he then couldn't even crack the top 3 in the NY mayoral campaign, amounting to half of 3rd place's votes.

Yang does however have an actual fanbase among young disillusioned men who don't particularly care about traditionally conservative policies, would actually like UBI as well because it benefits them, but cares most of all about culture wars complaining about woke SJWs which Yang has done nothing but side with them on. I'd agree that the older traditional Republican base isn't going to be interested in him but the younger R voters absolutely do, it's Yang's only substantively existing base.

Who are the Cheney supporters? They aren't from Trump's camp or anyone watching Fox News who completely revile her existence, meanwhile on the end instead with conservative Democrats and Never Trumpers she's been nothing but idolized as a literal Hero.

Imagine an actual campaign with all these options and how the media will be speaking on each candidate. Yang's a regular on Fox News, an organization that holds nothing but contempt for Cheney. Meanwhile CNN & MSNBC have been lavishing praise for Cheney for standing up to Trump and being the "traditional conservative moderate" the Chuck Todds of the world have been clamouring for, who repeatedly pull their both sides shit on Biden who they claim is too far left. Yang on the other hand just got his ass handed to him by Acosta.
