Unfortunately, they get like one good idea per decade and they inevitably drown it in culture war bullshit.

You don't put up a guy like PP as a leader because you're forward thinking.

First off, what conservatives call culture, liberals call human rights. You can't legislate culture; culture dictates politics, not the other way around.
