America isn’t going to swing from an extreme right wing government to a liberal female democrat

Bingo.

The goal has to be to win an election

Yup. You don’t win elections on idealism alone. If you did, Bernie Sanders would probably be president right now.

Or you get four years of Peter theils marionette and palantir running every aspect of the us government

DING DING. There’s WAY too much at stake to keep swinging and missing.
