    The thing is any succesful presidential candidate in America can’t be too progressive. Especially now the overton window has shifted towards the extreme right. I would love to see it but it won’t happen.

    A left of the middle president is the best you can hope for, sadly.

        Well especially the FPTP system in the US that makes politics a zero-sum game, a loss for one party is automatically a win for the other. And the electoral college that allows for gerrymandering.

        It really needs a complete overhaul but due to vested interests this will never make it through.
