Where offers a good example or a hint of what the vision should be? This isn’t necessarily directed at you, because I agree that the US is exceptionally bad in many ways and that even the better rated places in the world still have major problems. On a different note, I think the appeal of progressivism is it can offer some tangible-seeming outcomes to people. There are specific policy reforms that people can understand without having to wade into the entirely different vocabulary of many strains of leftism. I think most people would consider me a leftist, but goddamn if it wouldn’t be easier without the forays into abstraction and semantics.
