has not really accomplished much. Rather, it has become a badly weakened political tradition, which has done little more than make one concession after another to conservatives. The direction of the country has thus largely been determined by conservatives. So the last 40 years are not a good place to look, to be able to point to liberal successes.
American liberalism had its heyday from the New Deal until maybe the Nixon presidency. That is where most of the great successes lie. The monstrous thing that America has become is of course most directly due to the rightwing -- but the weakness of liberals enabled it.
