I'm old, I doubt I'll actually see a moderate progressive run for president with an actual chance to win. I think it's REALLY sad that we never have even one president both sides can get behind. We need someone like that big time, so things that are really important can get done, and neither side will try to block them so they are not a feather in the oppositions cap.

Nobody seems to believe this or see this or care I guess. Half the nation thinks trump is making America great gain (he is not, almost nothing positive has happened in 4 years in my opinion), and the other half is pushing for presidents so far left it will make it far more likely that Trump will get re-elected.

The obvious solution (to me) would be to have someone who is not as far left, more moderate, run as the democratic president, someone that can get people from both sides to vote for him (both in the election and later in congress). This could actually set us up for a very positive 4-8 years while we actually build our infrostructure and get a bunch of things EVERYONE can agree on passed.

Heck even things like health care and education could be at least slightly fixed, so they are not so skewed without just flat out forgiving student loans etc (which is great, but not likely to actually pass). Health care for instance doesn't need to be socialized nearly as much as the price for everything needs to be curtailed and restricted. Nobody should be making billions off the health care industry in this country.

All of that could be done with someone who is moderate, but we never even get a real chance to vote for someone like that.
