Personally, that we need more government, social safety nets, and tax reform to reign in the ultra rich. Environmental remediation, green energy, scientific. But, I’m of the belief that making meaningful progress towards these means sitting at the table and negotiating “this is what I want to have happen. What needs to change for you to be on board” across the aisles.

Yes I have pretty strong left ideals for America, I just think it’s stupid to do the constant “flip flopping” on this kind of policy between one president and the next. Making large changes takes decades of time for studies to be done, tech to be tested, infrastructure to be developed, etc. Trying to make radical changes when one party is wholly against it just encourages them to cut the new stuff short.

Getting people on both sides to agree on slow progress, over the span of like 4 terms, will result in more progress than it would 4 terms of extreme growth and then regression

The problem is that’ll literally never happen. The politicians in office are more than willing to stay in power until they die and not move an inch left that whole time. While also blocking every single attempt to remove them. You’re going under the assumption that the people in power rn aren’t selfish bastards who will do anything to get richer. And frankly we don’t have the time to wait four decades for things to slowly improve. We need a fix asap. This country is on life support.

Things used to be that way, once modern media seeped in and you could implant ideas into the public’s head regardless of the merit of the idea, then things shifted towards political loyalty and maintaining a “consistent” platform. You’re right I’m making an assumption, but that assumption is that we have the power to actually break the wheel, rather than continue the cycle of increasing party polarity
