We have proven "a disincentive to work" in a very short time just by increasing unemployment. This sentiment would increase 1,000,000 fold with UBI.

The Democrats willingness to increase peoples reliance on government would backfire horribly in the case of UBI.

Sure.
A boosted unemployment payment is conditional. Only people who had recently lost a job qualified for it. A conditional payment like that can create a disincentive to work.
A UBI payment would be unconditional.

Sure...

<insert UBI amount here>
