Your job is to save the USA WITHOUT destroying capitalism. What would you do? What can you do? Basically—how can you make things like they were during Obama’s presidency?

As a lib my first thought would be: “implement universal health care.” But wouldn’t it be struck down immediately by the SCOTUS? Wouldn’t the health insurance companies just overthrow you? Won’t the corporate press immediately start treating you like Bernie (or even worse) in order to turn the populace against you?

Please discuss. Also I am not Biden looking for ideas. Nor do I work in the White House.

    Of course. It's not a practical plan unless you are the person running because to get elected in the first place you'd have to pretend to be one of the ghouls until the very last moment. Before the turn this candidate would be indistinguishable from an ordinary fascist (or at best milquetoast liberal) to everyone except yourself. Especially towards the end where you're deliberately provoking a crisis to seize total authority, everyone with a brain cell will rightfully believe you're trying to be Mussolini 2: McDonalds Edition. On the other hand, if propaganda wins and leftism dies it's a not infeasible path to a better future.
