It will be interesting to see if the Democrats can become a progressive party and - if not - whether an eligible alternative may be construed. It's going down in the US! Obviously the majority of Americans are progressive (or support progressive politics such as universal healthcare) and both the Democrats and the GOP are gravely out of touch with the population.
I am befuddled with the American democracy: only 50 per cent of the electorate voted on election day, yet millions of people took to the streets to protest in the following days - close to one per cent of the population. Danes never take to the streets in that fashion, although 80-90 per cent of the population vote on election day. You seem to have a very lively democracy, even if you don't score high on participation in formal democratic institutions (e.g. voting). I'm intrigued.
