As an outsider looking in, I have maintained for years that the reason America cannot have nice things and is still stuck in the19th century in many ways is the fault of the Democratic Party trying to stay "Centrist" instead of being progressive. A great deal of that is the constant electioneering with elections every two years and a fixed election date. It takes money and lately it takes more and more money. The first duty of a politician is to get elected. Once that meant policies people wanted and would vote for. Now it means sell your soul for the money to get elected.
