There are plenty of things that Americans, in general, actually agree on. As much as the expression is disliked, there is a broad center that endorses at least moderate reform.
The problem is the fptp system that bundles people who are okay “just a little reform but not too much” with actual regressives, and people who actively support moderate reform with those too progressive for the “just a little” folks.
The end result is stagnation in popular issues due to the inflexibility of the electorate and enabling less democratic influences to dictate policy.
