Have any of these idiots ever sat through an actual PowerPoint presentation? Wouldn't he want people to actually watch the SOTU?

quote:

A crowd broke out into chants of "PowerPoint, PowerPoint, PowerPoint," at Democratic presidential hopeful and entrepreneur Andrew Yang's latest Seattle rally last week.

The chant broke out during a Friday rally at Gas Works Park in Seattle. Yang was reiterating his promise to become the first president to use PowerPoint in the State of the Union address when the audience responded by repeating "PowerPoint," according to GeekWire.

"I'm going to be the first president to use PowerPoint at the State of the Union, how do you feel about that?" Yang said. "Yes, this is the nerdiest presidential campaign in history!"

Yang is one of many contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination and faces an uphill battle in the primary.

He is facing candidates with a much higher profile and whose campaigns are heavily funded, including former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas).

Yang has called for universal basic income and lowering the voting age to 16 as part of his presidential platform.

Last week it was reported that Yang is working on a plan to give out $1,000 per month to two families in New Hampshire and Iowa as a way of demonstrating the benefits of his "Freedom Dividend" plan.

That alone, even if I agreed with 100% of his ideas, is enough to say "frick that".

Need anymore proof that every liberal alive is a flaming idiot?

Trump doesn't use slides for a SOTU or for his rally's. Find me 1 democrat that attracts 1/10th of what Trump attracts for his rallies. We'll wait.

I have known for some time that there was an unaddressed dormant issue out there, that if Democrats laid hold of, would tip the balances in their favor in 2020. PowerPoint - Yang the visionary has nailed it. MAGA is over and done with.

I'm still questioning why crowd numbers are never reported at these Dim's rallies. Not even Fox gives an estimate - just always "small" crowds.

PowerPoint was created in 1987. So does Yang think using a 32-year-old software program makes him cutting edge?

No, even the most fart in the bathtub and giggle at the bubbles type idiot wouldn't be dumb enough to chant "PowerPoint, PowerPoint, PowerPoint". You'd have to be criminally insane to get excited over PowerPoint.

Next SOTU, Trump needs to have a single Powerpoint slide with the POTUS seal on it, then tell Yang he's wrong.

The only Power Point I ever used ran out of ink a couple of years ago.

That's what the USA needs -- more PowerPoint.

Every long-serving Veteran of the US military will be thrilled.

Yang will only end up being a ying on Trump's arse. Yang is one of my 15 people not to worry about in 2020.

OMG! Trumps kryptonite!


Who was the clown trying to convince me this unknown, nameless dork was going to topple our beloved GEOTUS? Bc the country is going to turn their back on this economy and follow this anonymous Asian dude toward the wonderful world of socialism??? Say it out loud. It ain’t ever happening.

Every loudmouth billionaire now thinks they can be trump when in reality trump talked about the idea of running for president of decades before throwing his hat in the ring

That was my thoughts too. It's the reason for my white hot burning hate for PowerPoint and the many boring and shitty presentations I've sat through in the Army and private sector.

Come to think of it, the only reason I can guess these people are excited over PowerPoint is because you have to have a job to have sat through a presentation and come to the conclusion on how much of a bad idea this is.
