UBI became broadly well known as a policy in the US in 2020 with Andrew Yang's campaign. It was on the Green Party's radar as of their 2010 platform. Neither of those things had happened when the Dems had a roughly 6 month supermajority in 2009.
There are plenty of legitimate concerns to have about Democratic policies without expecting time travel from them.
You may not care what Republicans think, but you're doing their job for them.
Hi. Did you know you're repeating a Republican attack line from the campaign? I wonder who that would help.
tl;dr: the actual length of the supermajority was a few months, which they spent working on reform for the healthcare industry, where an estimated $2.4 trillion was spent in 2008.
Also, even the Green Party didn't add UBI to their platform until 2010.
Pretty much any Bob Marley live recording, the songs just feel like they were meant to be heard that way.
You can hear the crowd singing along, and Bob losing himself in the music.His songs feel like prayers for peace and that really comes through in the live versions.
To properly follow the rules and be specific, I'd say No Woman No Cry - Live at the Lyceum

Based on that last bit of your post, it sounds like you may actually not be that familiar with the incel community.
Short answer is that it goes much further than it seems at first glance. So,if you're feeling unhappy about your prospects, I'd recommend looking into other communities for the sake of your mental health.
Honestly, just focusing on a hobby of some kind and making connections with the community surrounding it would be infinitely better for you.
"According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot's misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that "the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions," a court order said."
Can you imagine the hellscape we'd be living in if precedent went the other way? Companies could just run every unsavory decision through some machine learning system and then wash their hands of it afterwards.
"Oh you were illegally fired? Sorry, that decision came from the Overmind, not from us."
I agree with you that the DNC, and lots of democrats, are often terrible at messaging.
I'd quibble with your framing about some of these things not connecting with average voters, but I'd rather take a step back a bit.
I guess my main idea is: If we care about the project of government being involved in people's lives in a helpful way, we owe it to people who are less privileged than us to walk and also chew gum here. We, the people who have time and resources to research this stuff and debate instead of picking up a second job to make ends meet.
Maybe you don't have time for this shit. I don't blame or judge you if that's the case. I'm speaking to the terminally online people who have time to worry about this stuff.
And when I say "walk and chew gum" I mean:
-
Vote in the primary against shitty centrist dems when you can,
-
Vote for them over their fascist opponent if they win the primary anyway.
-
Have conversations about solutions that are simple and straightforwardly helpful to people's lives to help broaden that Overton window. Including criticizing the DNC when they fail to offer those.
-
Do the DNC's job for them on communication about the helpful policies we do get. Because we have gotten some. Positive conversations about government programs that are currently being implemented are not happening enough.
They do take time to implement, and they're not enough, and on and on. I agree with the negative sentiment about it. [Edited out some unhelpful whining here] That said, there's too much work to do for the problems with the DNC to be the whole conversation. If you don't support fascism, we're on the same side.
I listed two already and others have listed more, but I'll take your comment as if it's in good faith anyway and link to:
more information about the Inflation Reduction Act
Which is both a huge investment in infrastructure and climate initiatives and also pretty poorly understood by most people.
And to make a bigger point: on the left we have an intrinsically harder job than the right does, since their argument is that government sucks and then they prove it by working in it and doing a shitty job.
It's hard for government programs to work effectively, even when they have huge popular support. People with money and power always want them to fail. It means our results sometimes aren't pretty, and aren't perfect. But if even we shit all over them at every possible turn, how do you expect average voters to think any different?
