    you expect the president to help you with your bills

    A UBI could help here, but yeah obviously the president can’t unilaterally implement one, especially with the Republican party controlling the house.

    Anyway, agreed with your overall point. People seem to think a president is a dictator that can just ram through policy and not just one person within a broader system. Maybe that’s why anti-democratic (small ‘d’) sentiment appears to be increasing.
