    No probably not. But let’s at Bernie was president.

    He would work in the confides of capitalism but there is another win:

    A progress president would open the conversation to move further towards socialism.

    Americans first need to stop fearing socialism, and imo Kamala might help a little with that. I’m not holding my breath though

      Exactly my point. We might have “conversations” for a few years, then we’ll go right back towards moving to the right. Just like what happened with Obama. Just like what happened with Clinton.

        Nobody said it would be easy, it’s taken the right wing almost 7 decades to forge their alliance with Christian fundamentalists. I don’t expect The Left to be able to enact massive change in any less time if they’re even able to mobilize.

        Even a best case scenario of 8 years of Harris and then 8 years of Walz could only be the beginning of unfucking what The Heritage Foundation and Reaganomics and trickle-down lies have done over the last half century.
