How about Bernie/Yang?

Yang is more moderate than Bernie, so he'll calm down people who are afraid of being executed in Central Park.

At the same time, Yang is also an outsider, he was a Bernie supporter in 2016, and he's got a following of independents and swing voters that we need to defeat Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Plus Yang pulls from some of Bernie’s same demographics so I don’t see the gain
I also like Warren / Castro as a possibility
Rumor heard Bloomberg contacted Yang after he dropped out please Andrew No!
