IIRC, Yang ended up being pretty far right as far as Democratic candidates went; not who I would want in a cabinet-level position.

Beyond that, he really doesn’t have direct political experience, and being in a cabinet does require pretty solid abilities at managing politics. Or, it does if you want to be effective. The gov’t isn’t a business, and it shouldn’t be run the same way a for-profit business is run. To that end, I don’t think that politics and public service is really Yang’s wheelhouse. If he wants to cut his teeth on state politics, and then move up to the national level, he’s welcome to prove me wrong. (Not that he gives a shit about my opinion. But I think he’ll have a hard time getting elected without getting lower-stakes experience first.)
