Andrew Yang Plans To Use a 3D Hologram For Remote Campaigning (nymag.com)
Andrew Yang, the presidential candidate who supports Universal Basic Income and has attracted a devoted online following, is planning to use a 3D hologram on the campaign trail. "On Wednesday he gave the #YangGang, which is what his supporters call themselves, their first look at it," reports New York Magazine. From the report: The hologram's debut came on TMZ Live, which showed a video of Yang's hologram performing a duet alongside a hologram of his "hero," Tupac. "I was doing a demo of what a hologram would consist of in order to send the hologram of me to campaign in Iowa or other battleground states," he said.
Last month, Yang spoke about his hologram plans with Iowa newspaper, The Carroll Daily Times Herald. "We are exploring rolling a truck out that would enable someone to see a hologram of me that is three-dimensional give my stump speech," Yang told the paper. "And, also, if I were in a studio, which we could set up very easily, I could beam in and take questions live." Yang also told the paper that he plans to use hologram technology to remind voters that "it is 2019, and soon it will be 2020, and things are changing."

"This guy is so elitist he can't even be bothered to leave his comfy studio and come out here and speak to us in person? I'm sure as hell not voting for him."

That gets the attention of a lot of people, especially the leftist media.
He doesn't want to grab women by the pussy nor places his hands on them with uncomfortable hugs and uncomfortable kisses. He's pushing for leftist ideas that as a platform represent more of what the public says they want than most other platforms even bother to discuss--honestly, 99% of people don't care about immigration except as a reaction to politicians making it an issue, yet that's the discussion of the day that's used to wedge people for votes. He's pretty calm and rational in speech, and he seems not only willing but capable of listening to views he doesn't agree with and discussing why those views should either change or otherwise are incorrect.
Or as a lot of Democrats and Republicans would put it, he's some sort of left wing fanatical elitist and whtever you do don't look at the man behind the curtain that is our dog and pony show masquerading as political discourse. Now get back over here and be enraged and focus on the stuff we tell you that's important even though no matter the outcome it has about zero effect on your lives! The last thing we want you to do is focus on real change where failure to deliver gives good reason to fire us or for which if the legislation succeeds but the results aren't what was expected we might lose because are ideals are proven wrong!

It's amazing how you people never bring up "other people's money" when billionaires get local taxpayers to pay for the sports stadiums for their professional ball teams. The taxpayer never sees any benefit for it.
Or when they tool around in their private jets and get the benefit of taxpayer funded air traffic control and airports.
And of course the use of the taxpayer funded interstate system that allows them to make their billions.
But when regular people want some basic single payer healthcare, oh no! "other people's money!" Healthcare is a luxury in the USA. We have the most expensive system that is also the worst performing in the industrialized world. Why? More welfare for the billionaires. They rigged the system so that we have to do business with their ripoff insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
You know what? If AOC, Sanders, Warren somehow got what they promised for all us, OUR standard of living would go up. Yes, you too.
But you have been brainwashed by the conservative media (it's ALL controlled by big conservative corporate interests: yes, even MSNBC) that what they want is in your best interests.
Nope. Wake up! You're being played for a rube.
