        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

            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.

        Baby steps. If things are less bad for 4 or 8 years, progressive policies become more palatable for people. This gets you closer to your ideal state.
