Why not Andrew Yang?
With almost no institutional support and the active disdain of much commercial press — the Schenectady, New York-born entrepreneur recently boycotted MSNBC in search of coverage “consistent with our polling” — Yang, according to poll averages, sits in sixth place in the 2020 Democratic race, earning 3.3 percent nationally.
He outperforms Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker, the moneybags vanity run of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a slew of once-fashionable party hopefuls now in the dustbin of primary history, like Beto O’Rourke, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Bill de Blasio.

Senator Jon Tester is far more likely to appear in the halls of Congress than the corridors of CAA. But the Montana Democrat came to the venerable talent agency earlier this week—not seeking representation, but to represent.
Tester turned out in support of the Oscar-shortlisted documentary Dark Money at a CAA screening that drew a standing room-only crowd. The film directed by Kimberly Reed, a fellow Montanan, investigates the pernicious role of untraceable cash flooding U.S. elections. The subject is an important one to Tester, who just won re-election to a third term in a very tight race that attracted loads of anonymous spending.
“I can’t tell you how many dollars of dark money came into my state yet,” he told the audience during a Q&A. “And we may never know how many dollars came into the state. If it was for me or against me,...

Campaign finance is a phrase that lingers on the fringes of most political conservations, though rarely the center of focus. Dark Money, directed by Kimberly Reed, aims to change that. As Ann Ravel, Chair of the Federal Election Commission (Fec), states: “Campaign finance is like the gateway issue to every other issue you might care about.” Fast and furious in its information and interviews, this documentary is engaging from minute one, rarely letting the viewer off the hook.
The action here is set in Montana, a large state with a small-town vibe. Over a century ago, the city of Butte became a haven for copper mining and big industry capital. Specifically, the eventual monopoly of the Anaconda Copper Company. What resulted was environmental disaster allowed through systemic corruption within the state government. Thousands of human lives lost, along with thousands of animal lives. The people of Montana reacted to this...
