They may not give a shit about how they're viewed, but the progressive position on things like healthcare and education are still, on average, hugely popular policy ideas, despite your mainstream media treating them as if they're crazy, fringe ideas. You don't lose your identity, as an example, if you stop your citizens becoming bankrupt, selling everything they own, because a loved one got cancer. America can keep being America and still create a better society for it's citizens.[/QUOTE
The citizens of America don't want the government creating anything. The government is there to build roads and stay out of people's lives. There's a reason that we still have shite healthcare plans, no mental health resources and open gun ownership. However...people would rather deal with that than be told what to do and pay more taxes for infastructure...
As fucked up as it might sound...I agree, nobody is owed a living
