Democratic residential candidate Andrew Yang speaks at a conference in New York on Wednesday. His plan appeals because it’s politics made easy — by, well, removing the politics. Yang’s policy platform is rational, and an almost perfect fit for his audience, many of whom are tech oriented themselves. Yang is a hipper, cooler update of modern American belief that a man of business can solve the messy world of Washington. It’s a TED Talk version of politics.
