‘a driftless democracy’ is a comprehensive policy platform aimed at fundamentally reshaping the United States’ social, economic, and political landscape. The platform is built on the principle of self-determination, which is enshrined in the proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment guarantees every individual the right to make decisions about their own life, body, mind, and identity without undue government interference.
The platform covers a wide range of policy areas, including electoral reform, government branch revitalization, foreign policy, economic policy, environmental policy, technology and AI, energy, transportation, healthcare, first responder support, incarceration reform, family care, education, and entertainment. Each section outlines bold proposals designed to promote self-determination, equity, and innovation.
Key initiatives include abolishing the Electoral College, implementing ranked-choice voting, eliminating the Senate filibuster, expanding the Supreme Court, transitioning to renewable energy, providing universal basic income, ensuring comprehensive healthcare, and eliminating student debt. The platform also emphasizes the importance of ethical AI development, modernizing transportation infrastructure, supporting first responders, reforming the criminal justice system, and investing in the arts and culture.
