I would like nothing better than for the U.S. to adopt all those policies. But it won't. Not in 2020 with the voters of 2020 and the electoral college of 2020. A candidate who runs on a platform of trying to turn the U.S. into Canada will fail. And the world will get another four years of Trump.
A moderate Democratic president
even is she were to govern substantially to the right of my own personal political preferences would be far preferable to another four years of Trump and the Republicans. And people who don't see a difference between those two options are useless ideologues of the sort described in the Guardian article I posted.
