America is not Denmark. Trying to make the US into a European country is futile. Its like trying to make bread from a head of lettuce. It just doesn't work. Our systems and the way we each govern are fundamentally different. You can't put a pc motherboard inside of a Mac or vice versa (from what I understand). They were built differently and grew into what they are now differently. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and satisfy different needs.
To those that want to try and turn America into Europe because they are more in love with the fantasy of Central European life over the reality American life, I would suggest applying for a visa and moving there. I mean, why not just get the real thing you're after instead of a cheap, poorly made copy? Because if you're expecting American to turn in Denmark based on the ideals of the Democratic Party or one man's presidential sales pitch then I've got a real nice bridge to sell you.
Its good to have an Ameican system and a European system. Difference is good. Comparisons are good. Trying to make them the same is not.
Work within the system that developed to make it better. Unfortunately, we are at a very definitive place in history where most people don't have even the slightest idea of how industry or government actually work - and they are angry. On both sides of the fence.
I understand wanting a utopia and "free everything" sounds really awesome. Who doesn't want that? But it's just not gonna happen. If you want to live in under a European system them move to Europe.
