Maybe I shouldn't comment on US politics but this comment though...

You really think a country whose majority of the liberal media and even the establishment of the Democrat party denounced Bernie Sanders as a far left radical and did everything to make sure he did not secure the nomination are suddenly going to advocate for Universal Basic Income?

I've heard some US politicians float the idea even on the Republican side I mean this is going to be with us for a while so some ideas have to be put forth to how people who can't work afford to eat but seriously neither major party is going to do anything like that.
