Let's be honest - he must've raised it to his campaign staff as a possibility before they looked at him like

Did your friend bother to tell you in what ways he/she thought Trump was more liberal than Biden? Or what differentiates a 'Marxist' from a 'Neo-Marxist'?

Because Trump's deal to create a better relationship between Israel and the UAE, him pulling troops from the middle east (which is already debunked) and him going after pharma companies for giving the US higher prices.

Of course he didn't. He hardly has an understanding of what Marxism is and I'm pretty sure his definition is ripped straight from the Urban dictionary. Which is pretty focusing more on race, gender and sexuality over wealth. From what I can see any respectable source makes it out to be as vague thing with different versions. Basically anything that builds on Marxism.

It is popular with a lot people who want to preserve capitalism and with people (like Yang) who advocate pulling disability, food stamps, and section 8, from UBI recipients.

The military is basically UBI for people who contribute nothing to society.

My friend is the type of dude that uses phrases that he thinks makes him look smart but makes him look dumb to anybody that actually knows what they mean.

Did you make him look dumb? I mean let's be honest, being around people like that if they insist on giving those opinions regularly is more annoyance than it's worth. Might as well have the satisfaction of seeing that angry look on their face when you know they feel stupid.

It's not in person. I've literally made him cry before.

He's trying to tell me that Kamala is more authoritarian than Trump. (He'd have called her fascist but I gave him so much **** on it that he finally stopped.)

OMG now he's trying to tell me that Hitler used Marxism to justify racism.

I can think of many policies that are more ****.

UBI is a **** policy that would likely just get your rent raised

Not really. Yang actually did a pretty good job at explaining the different things he wanted to do to pay for it that didn't involve raising taxes on the lower and middle classes. His website had pages and pages of content about that part of the platform.

If your rent actually went up for any reason, that's up to your ****ty landlord. :laughing:
