Because he's not terribly charismatic and seems genuinely quite bad at the more basic requisite political skills

Nah, he's too much of a meme candidate. Maybe he can get a house seat if he targets a really niche district.

There are tons of Asian-American elected officials in the US, though.

Not to say it doesn't exist, but it's clearly a thing that candidates can overcome

Yeah, pretty much any non-white candidate is going to see some level of racism, especially at the state and national level. But like that doesn't mean that a politicians lack of success is entirely because of racism. Especially for unserious people like Yang.

He's wealthier than you and I for sure, but yeah for a former tech CEO he's not obscenely wealthy or anything. His net worth is estimated to be about 1-3 million dollars depending on who you ask.

No chance anymore. He could have leveraged his popularity into something instead of being a 3rd party grift candidate.

Yang couldn't even win the NYC mayor race after boosting his profile nationally. He has no future in politics beyond talk shows.

  • Ran for president with no prior political experience
  • His implementation of UBI is poorly thought out and reeks of an excuse to gut other social safety programs
  • He was never going to win the Democratic Presidential primary, but in an actual competitive race (the NY mayoral primary, where he actually entered as the frontrunner) he blew his early lead by running a shit campaign and alienating everyone but his base.
  • Created "The Forward Party", which is a political party without any sort of coherent ideology attached to it and as far as I'm aware has yet to actually put forth a candidate in any races.
  • Unable to articulate how he would intend on achieving any of his bolder stances if elected to office.


He's a rich businessman who has some interesting ideas and likes to hear himself talk, but as a potential public servant he's inept.

very uncharasmatic, like he's not a good speaker, or very forceful, so eric adams for example was a better speaker in nyc major contest?

he's a good and thoughtful speaker but i guess not particularly forceful.
