I respectfully but strongly disagree. Chasing the ideal can cause more harm than good. We Americans have to realize that we can’t get 100% of what we want a 100% of the time. We are a liberal democracy, we are going to have different viewpoints on what the ideal society is.
The inability to acquire an ideal government doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it.
