EDIT 01.01.2023: As long as we wait until this MAGA thing dies out or Texas secedes (whichever comes first), a UBI (Universal Basic Income, or free money for every American) will do good things for our country in the long run, and for the world by setting a good example and starting a worldwide movement that will one day make it to the poorest countries.

“Let’s All Not Die
“Hi friends,
“I am curious if you think an anti-collapse political party could exist or be successful. I am worried that we cannot continue down any path currently endorsed by political parties (I live in the US). Do you think people who may believe in collapse or see the potential issues climate crisis will cause could create enough political traction to get their message out by creating a political party or movement with the goal of protecting the average citizen from probable collapse?”
My response:
I’d say your best shot would be starting a movement within the Democratic Party, but not creating a whole new party. It’s basically a two-party system, and you’d want to choose the Democrats because Republicans wouldn’t want to support anything that requires money.
It’s because of this that I’m really disappointed that Yang became a third-party candidate.
Hopefully there will be another candidate in 2028 who supports a UBI, but from the Democratic Party. I was very pro-Yang in-between the time Biden first got elected and Yang deciding to go third-party (possibly due to 20/20 hindsight seeing how everyone was affected by the pandemic). I hope that Yang doesn’t take away too many votes from Biden in 2024, but is successful in increasing support for a UBI. Then a Democrat that runs on a UBI platform will hopefully win in 2028…
