Thats all very high minded and everything, but the electorate don’t listen to facts, statistics or logic. They listen to anecdotes, repetitive associations and archetypes that fit their existing narrative. In this polarised society, anything said from an opposing ideology is discounted automatically. They listen to dogma, and when your argument runs counter to their fundamental dogma, they shut you down, they stop reading, they discredit you, attack you and argue across you without engaging with your actual propositions or assertions.

To counter this you have to review your own ideological biases and uproot the “Free money is bad for people” argument by not allowing it to ever take hold.

This proposal does that. Simple UBI fails miserably on a political level.
