    They don’t know because the party provides no tangible benefits to them. Nothing to improve their lives directly. Passing UBI would have won this election in a landslide because it reminds people monthly what the party did for them.

      You think the people who didn’t even realize that Biden wasn’t running are adamantly keeping tabs on the status of UBI? Because even if it was passed in a legislative miracle, Republicans would take credit, and they would believe them. I don’t agree that this would sway the “wait, did biden drop out? What’s black tea?” voters.

        This makes me wonder if people keep saying they were more prosperous under Trump because he “signed” the goddamn stimulus checks with his huge sharpie signature. It’s something I thought surely people wouldn’t be that stupid to fall for, but maybe I was wrong.

          “Gas was cheap when Trump left office”

          Yeah, because nobody was allowed to leave their fucking house.
