Well yeah UBI is a pipe dream so long as we're living in a retard society that thinks the amount of money we spend on the military somehow isn't already enough.

Even in Fantasyland it’s disappointing to hear someone get even a small platform and then point 1 (literally) is we’ll pay for UBI by taking things away from the most disenfranchised. I mean f uck.

Like I said, working class conservatives were up in arms about Obamacare, a highly imperfect solution to private healthcare abuse. Then when their chosen politicians tried repealing it those same people started crying foul because now they had healthcare and hadn't reckoned with how it would affect them. Whatever you want to say about Obamacare it was a 1st step to convincing conservatives scared of socialism that the government throwing them any kind of bone wasn't the worst thing in the universe. $1000 of UBI would be a crazy step towards convincing those same people that higher amounts of UBI could be desirable.

He's a big advocate for Medicare For All and seemingly a lot of other policies that would reduce costs for the disenfranchised though.

I mean quite possibly and I'm not the most educated but still the idea of this being a concept that is introduced to the American public is exciting. I suspect that it won't even get that far and the public at large will remain as ignorant of the concept of UBI as they always have but if they can even be made aware that such a thing exists then does it matter who proposes it when they'll obviously never get elected anyway? I mean if I were to ask 9 out of 10 people on the street if they had the slightest idea of what UBI was what do you think they would say?

We don't get many of those in government as a general rule. But you either fail to grasp that reality or you just lack an appreciation for what it takes to do what he's done.
