Citizens united would have been overturned with a constitutional amendment, bribery would be completely illegal (especially for supreme court justices), the ERA would be law, abortion would be legal in all states, the voting rights act would still be in place, toll roads would be illegal, health insurance companies wouldn't get away with murdering people, private prisons would be illegal, the rich would pay their fair share of taxes, wall street wouldn't keep ruining the country, gun reform would've passed, defense contractors would stop getting billions in subsidies, Israel and Saudi Arabia would stop getting weapons from us, credit card Interest rates would be 10% or less, voting would be a constitutional right, all teachers would make a comfortable wage, rent control would be federal law, housing would be a constitutional right, social welfare would never be cut, private funding of political campaigns would likely be illegal, people wouldn't have to worry about childcare.... should I go on?
Most of those issues have 70% if not over 70% support for the general public. But about 0% from corporations. There have been efforts to get a lot of those things done, and most of them ended in failure.
