YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Andrew Yang reveals how major TV networks pressure commentators to keep a party label because it makes for “better TV,” sharing that his own TV contract was rescinded when he left the Democratic Party, and he and Paul Rieckhoff break down how this warped incentive structure, driven by money and entertainment value, discourages independent voices even though most Americans are fed up with both parties and would go independent if the economics were equal. #independent
