Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.
With love,

my belief is that there needs to be a guarantee of a universal standard of living, not a basic income.
if the greatest dumbasses of our society like the current president or the idiots in finance who tanked our economy are living like kings, then the fundamental promise of the meritocracy and just world theory is a lie - thus wealth and power must be redistributed to protect the nation from their terror, and to instill in people's minds that we our only as great as the quality of living of our poorest person.
we should want people to wake up in the morning and be proud they live in a nation where nobody is living on the streets, or starving, and our children are all receiving a quality education. thus, our nation as a whole becomes a stronger unit, and we are obligated as citizens to look out for one another's well-being. universal programs for health care and giving the homeless homes are actually cheaper on our taxpayers as well as being an overall public good.
we have 6 houses to every homeless person, most of which are lovely McMansion abominations, and we throw out 40% of our food while many struggle on food stamps and others just go hungry. the "free market" is great for tech doodads and virtual reality and non-essentials, but for providing the essentials of life, it's a brutally cruel and stupid system that imposes suffering on many for the profit of a few.
UBI is simply giving cash into the hands of the many poor so they can enrich the wealth of the few capital-holders in our society. we need to build a more fundamental core set of policies to challenge this idiotic shitshow we've been forced to subscribe to since birth.
when democrats won't do what is needed, then voting the "lesser of two evils" is not the right option anymore
