In this week's episode Kristina talks about why Democratic Party purity testing is going to get Donald Trump reelected, and why you should take a good look at Andrew Yang as a serious contender for the Democratic nomination.

Andrew Yang is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and now candidate for president. His campaign is centered around his flagship policy The Freedom Dividend. In short, Andrew wants to give every American Adult $1,000 a month. No strings attached. 

Andrew sees America is moving in the wrong direction, and wants to correct course through many progressive policies. Unlike Biden, Biden, or Warren, Andrew is not a career politician. He tells it like it is, without trying to dumb down the message. 

He backs up all his strategies with facts, and his favorite thing, math. He doesn't bother with gotchya one liners, or sugarcoating reality. He knows we as Americans are tired of the disingenuous nature of career politicians. 

He supports mitigating climate change, health care for all, affordable higher education, criminal justice reform, and on top of all that.. wants to put an end to daylight savings time!
