How could the Dems win in 2028? Probably not with a repeat of the Harris playbook of cozying up to Wall Street and promoting a status quo of genocide abroad and privation for the working-class at home. The number one issue for voters is almost always the economy; specifically, their ability to keep their families housed, fed and healthy, something that was becoming harder and harder, even before the Republicans gutted what little social safety net had existed prior to Trump 2.0.
And one way of addressing this, though I’m not holding my breath, would be to campaign for a Universal Basic Income (UBI).
The world’s most robust study of (UBI) found that giving people a free, guaranteed monthly income, without any strings attached, increased their financial and mental health, while correlating with increased employment.
