  1. Americans are generally inward looking and don't like change, they want to dream into reality some apparent golden age that they think existed previously. Just to take one issue which stands out like dogs balls. US publically funded healthcare is more expensive per capita than Australian publically funded healthcare which is universal excluding dental. The US has the lowest life expectancy of any wealthy country in the world so using the most obvious metric it's the most expensive public plus private healthcare system in the world with the lowest outcome for a wealthy country. Looking from afar it's pretty obvious why and this is bipartisan policy by the way, the Democrats aren't organized enough to change anything. The US government literally refuses to buy drugs and treatment options at a reasonable price, the market which is a monopoly for emergency care is able to set prices in most cases. Drugs are put to market not based on efficacy and cost effectiveness but according to the ability of drug companies to market their drugs to consumers who believe they aren't paying. In the private insurance sector for healthcare every time costs increase for healthcare the insurers see the the next pot of gold because insurance is actually a commission business, higher costs equals higher premiums and higher margins and the government won't say a word because the insurers will just say but costs have gone up. Many Democrats say spend more money and Republicans say it's the best system in the world already which it clearly isn't because it's not communist or other ridiculous arguments, they literally want to pay more tax for healthcare that they might not even be entitled to. Republicans and Democrats have met in the middle on this issue because the overarching system agreed to is bipartisan policy. Crazy people like AOC literally just want what the rest of the wealthy world has at a cheaper price than you pay now. In any other country including middle income countries, AOC would be considered the only normal one and the vast majority of other Democrats and all Republicans as radical big government spenders with some sort of socialist agenda because the public healthcare isn't universal.
