Breaking: In Using Word “Byzantine” Andrew Yang Proves He’s Too Smart to be President
In accurately describing America’s healthcare system using the word Byzantine — an adjective describing an excessively complicated and inefficient system — it appears the Universal Basic Income advocate might have torpedoed his campaign.
While many presidents have been intelligent, none of had such a poetic yet clinical command of language as Yang, which all but ensures a short lived foray into the 2020 presidential race.
“Politics is not for the faint of heart, nor the vigorous of mind.” Claimed Quinnipiac University presidential scholar Cecil Greenmeadow. “Yang also seems to have a decent set of ethics which won’t help him either.”
But at the heart of Yang’s misstep was what Greenmeadow described as, an “egregious vocab flex.” Noting that in their language, a candidate must strike a balance between brainy egghead and feckless dunce.
“W. Seems to be the one exception here. He clearly wasn’t splitting the atom, and seemed to do a pretty strong impersonation of an “awe shucks” hayseed peasant.” Greenmeadow continued, “Turns out, it wasn’t an impersonation.”
More to come.
