Thanks for commenting, Jordan.

It’s not an unfair critique you make. I keep hoping Bernie will open up to reason and new argument. He’s expressed openness to UBI before, and I think we could bring him back around.

Among the front-runners, I think Warren could be open to UBI as well. I’m generally less optimistic about Pete, but most don’t realize the carbon tax and dividend he supports (as do many others across the aisle) is essentially a partial UBI.

I have no hope for Biden or Klobuchar.

Several of the lower-tier candidates, including Williamson, Gabbard, and Castro, have expressed significant levels of support for UBI.

Rashida Tlaib and AOC are starting to get closer and closer to it as well.

UBI is in the middle of a steep learning curve, relatively speaking, both in America and globally, going from political obscurity to verging on mainstream in a few years. I think it’s inevitable at this point, but we need to keep pushing our leaders to embrace it sooner and to understand its more profit nuances and implications, so that when we do implement, we do it well.
