A united front with social-democrats could probably get a lot done, but I should point out I tend to take a pragmatic long view towards politics. Not pragmatic in the sense that Obama uses it, but rather if it helps people live a happier better life then I'm not at all opposed to voting in elections and even helping some politicians. All that being said, I feel like as far as the U.S. is concerned we really don't have anyone to form a united front with. Social-Democracy is far to the left of American Liberalism and the only politicians in the States that I consider social-democrats are Sanders and possibly Kucinich. I just don't see the Democrats being too willing to propose any of the things Social-Democrats would.
