To save lots of both democracy and a decent economy, here’s why it’s crucial that Americans elect a progressive leader. The 2020 presidential election will become pivotal for the reliability of government as well as for democracy itself, argues Robert Kuttner within this short and compelling contact to hands. Either we continue the twin slides into corrupt autocracy and commercial plutocracy? the course set in days gone by half hundred years by Republican and Democratic presidents as well? or we elect a progressive Democrat in the mildew of FDR. At stake is nothing less than the continuing success of the American experiment in liberal democracy, which depends upon a fairer distribution of lifestyle chances and a reduced amount of the monetary industry’s impact in the politics sphere. Kuttner continues on showing convincingly a progressive Democrat also has a better chance than a centrist of winning the presidency in today’s political environment.
