Theres also the fact that shes endorsed by freaking David Duke

Of all the people running she is the one that he supports

Does she accept/welcome his support?
Just cause he chooses to endorse her doesn't mean shit on its own. Could be purely strategic ("she's the most conservative Dem, so I'll back her") or even intentionally sabotaging her by putting his name w/ hers.

In general, David Duke claims have always been a ridiculous talking point. Not that the Reddit meme likely has any more validity.

EDIT: Trump's support by Duke became an outrage not b/c he got said endorsement on its own, it's b/c he waffled back and forth on condemning it while making cute dog whistles to the white supremacists that he was on their side and just declining the support publicly b/c he had to.

The manufacturoversy regarding his "waffling" began with the simple fact that, when asked, he had no clue who it was because most people aren't going to either remember or even know that name.

I liked Yang until he came out against universal healthcare, the vital thing every other civilized country has. How can you be for UBI but not UH? I guess UBI would mean healthcare coverage by proxy, but still.

That is kinda weird no matter how you look at it.

Also I'm not sure about his foreign policy, which should be "GTFO of the middle east and cut the military budget by 3/4ths"

I'm not entirely opposed to that.

politics are such a waste of time
do something better than your life then worry about that crap

If anything, the problem is that people don't pay enough attention to politics.
