Wow that's a lot

Even if you got elected on that platform, you'd be lucky if you could push even one of those things through in an entire political career, even if it's something popular that the people want.

It's a classic trap for the newly elected who promise the world and then realised that 99% of politics is horse trading and backdoor deals with beltway insiders
