What progressive agenda?
All progressive agenda items, by any president, for the next thirty years will be at risk, if people like you end up electing a republican who appoints another Scalia to the bench.
And that's what it's about this election cycle with a gop congress:
NO PROGRESSIVE AGENDA IS GOING TO REACH THE PRESIDENT'S DESK
But maybe in some future cycle where we have congress it might be possible - unless of course the Supreme Court is permanently stacked 5-4 with conservatives.
So, if you want to flush the possibility of a progress agenda in the future down the toilet, then keep thinking and acting the way you are.

She's one strong, smart, tough lady, I don't know how she does it.
Her stamina is incredible, I wouldn't believe it if I weren't seeing it.

The Economy of Europe comprises more than 731 million people in 48 different countries. Like other continents, the wealth of Europe's states varies, although the poorest are well above the poorest states of other continents in terms of GDP and living standards.

Or said in another way
3 of the top five are in Europe and
3 of the second five are in Europe
Europe then has good depth
What's the fuss, slaves didn't get any wage at all and look how happy they were.

Their GDP must be all going into "social programs" they can't support as their external debt per capita is the highest in the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt
No wonder they're forced to import young migrants now (who will put an end to their civilization in 20 years), as they can't support their future handout programs, having aging population.
And professional jobs (which are hard to get too) hold much lower salaries in Europe. People go for US H1B, the country of opportunity!

They can't get "slaves" anymore... the PC consciousness won't allow...so they have to call it "we invite Greece and Eastern Europeans into EU" -- to be our cheap slave labor and be indebted to us! Who do you think is doing toilet cleaning, outside labor and live-in home jobs, aside from Arabs and Africans? And people live in tents, doing these jobs.

and yet
those citizens in countries in Europe consistently vote to pay more in taxes
in exchange for universal healthcare and increased social services
what is wrong with them, why would they think that stuff is more important than keeping more of their paycheck?
guess they are not Americans, how come they don't reason like we do?

US is far not the highest total debt per capita country.
For external debt per capita, it's definitely Western Europeans countries.
For total public debt, by various parameters -- it depends -- but Japan, Belgium and Italy are certainly mostly the "winners", higher than the US (which itself is high on the list, UK and France being close next):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt
One thing US doesn't need is more debt, which will be inevidable with socialist policies, once the jobs had left the US (and they will)

Re: wannabee slaves
Rather than letting them put an end to their civilization in 20 years, can't they just force them into self-deportation?
