Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".
A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

The US is a federation. Each state is like a separate country in many regards. And small states don't want to end up submitting to things a majority of their population doesn't agree with because bigger states end up skewing the overall majority. So states' voting power is not directly proportional to their population, which supposedly evens the playing field.
Think of the US as something like the EU, not like a single European country. You could say 60% of Europeans agree on some subject, so it should be the law in Europe, but that 60% overall could be 90% in France, Germany and Italy, but 10% in Lithuania and Cyprus. So why would those latter countries accept such a law?
