Honestly, one of the main things giving me hope is that ballot initiatives consistently show a massive swing toward left-leaning, social democratic policies.

Because that's the moderate/center position of the country. There is just a false impression created by the corporate media that you have to be "center right" to be considered moderate. Direct democracy is cool.

Yup, 100%. When it comes down to it, America is more to the left than our federal government. Which is hugely shitty but still represents a chance to fix this shit.
