Because America has a first past the post election system, which will always result in two dominant parties. See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo for an explanation.
This is an important part of it. The other part is the fact that success in politics is very hard without money, and most rich people aren’t progressives.
In no country in the world is the progressive party the main attractor of wealth. Progress means change that will lessen the comparative advantage of the wealthy.
Tired of this whole “America is conservative to the rest of the world” thing. No, it is conservative compared to Europe, specifically. I don’t mind making the comparison. But the arrogance of equating Europe with “the world” frustrates me.
California is extremely progressive compared to Russia, Saudi Arabia, India…just not, specifically, compared to western Europe.

California
I think it’s extremely arguable whether Gavin Newsom is a progressive or not. Actually I don’t, he isn’t.
No, but Progressives are in power. We’re not a dictatorship. The one person in the chief executive office is not the entire government.
Halarious to read as a non-american cause sure California is the best of y’all, but it is NOT progressive compared of some of the world
