Maybe some of today's progressives aren't as innovative that they thought. An episode in history that's not covered in detail in most high school history textbooks:
During his post-presidency presidential campaign, Teddy Roosevelt campaigned for more federal power and more direct democracy. (Wonder where Ross Perot came up with his "vote on the issues from home" ideas?) Power is attractive to politicians. Especially to those who are good on the bully pulpit.
