America is a political left country population wise

But unfortunately the political right minority will always either be in power or have enough legislative/electoral college votes to make things difficult to do anything. If you just take the American adult population, I say that Americans are 60/40 left/right. But of the 60 percent a lot aren't registered, live in populated blue states (which minimizes our senate power), or live in pockets in red/purple states (leads to gerrymandering in the House and weakening our electoral vote for POTUS)...While the 40 percent are spread across a dozen red states which maximizes there senate power and gives them an electoral college advantage.
