Verification History

AI Unverifiable Cannot verify source URL - Reddit (www.reddit.com) blocks automated fetching. The quote is attributed to Tim Canova from a Reddit AMA on r/SandersForPresident (January 2016). Vote alignment is correct: the quote says "I support a minimum basic income" which matches the "for" vote on "Implement a universal basic income". The attribution is plausible - Tim Canova was a progressive Democrat running for Florida's 23rd Congressional District and citing Nixon's negative income tax proposal and Friedman's support is a common rhetorical move among UBI advocates. However, without being able to access the Reddit source, I cannot positively confirm the quote text is accurate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 4d ago
