> America’s current troubles are political polarization and ballooning deficits.

American problem is one sided right wing radicalization, not polarization. If left of center moved the the right even more, the issues would remain.

The U.S. is simply one of the developed countries where right wing populism has grown in response to mass immigration. If center-left folks flipped on immigration, the current right wing populism would collapse, just like happened in Denmark: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1mgkd93r4yo

Now we just need a right-leaning person who lacks self awareness to offer a rebuttal to you and we can complete the picture.
