I am Andrew Yang, U.S. 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate, running on Universal Basic Income. AMA!

Posted: 28 Feb 2019 10:57 AM PST

Hi Reddit,

I am Andrew Yang, Democratic candidate for President of the United States in 2020. The leading policy of my platform is the Freedom Dividend, a Universal Basic Income of $1,000 a month to every American adult aged 18+. I believe this is necessary because technology will soon automate away millions of American jobs—indeed, this has already begun. The two other key pillars of my platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism. Both are essential to transition through this technological revolution. I recently discussed these issues in-depth on the Joe Rogan podcast, and I'm happy to answer any follow-up questions based on that conversation for anyone who watched it.

I am happy to be back on Reddit. I did one of these March 2018 just after I announced and must say it has been an incredible 12 months. I hope to talk with some of the same folks.

I have 75+ policy stances on my website that cover climate change, campaign finance, AI, and beyond. Read them here: www.yang2020.com/policies

Ask me Anything!

Edit: Thank you all for the incredible support and great questions. I have to run to an interview now. If you like my ideas and would like to see me on the debate stage, please consider making a $1 donate at https://www.yang2020.com/donate We need 65,000 people to donate by May 15th and we are quite close. I would love your support. Thank you! - Andrew

I’m Niall Stanage and I cover the White House for The Hill. Ask me anything.

I'm the White House Columnist for The Hill.

I write a reported column ("The Memo") which is primarily about President Trump — though it will soon start to include more coverage of the 2020 campaign. I also pop up on TV, radio and podcasts.

I'm originally from Belfast, where I grew up during The Troubles. I've lived in the United States since 2003 — first in New York and, since 2011, in D.C. I've covered every presidential election campaign since 2004. Before I worked for The Hill, I wrote a book about then-Sen. Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.

You can also follow me on Twitter: @NiallStanage.

I empathize with most people, except the ones who order "mild" rather than "spicy" at Popeyes. Monsters.

Ask me anything.
