Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let's wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.

He's a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what's popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it'll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.

Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let's not kid ourselves. He's not going to neolib us into utopia.

I'm not sure the answers so far get to the gist of the problem- how to create these institutions in balance of power, where they can't just co-opt or capture one another.

I don't think it's possible to prevent one institution from actively deciding to give up and relinquish its responsibilities, without constraining or bolstering them to where they can't act as balances.

If they want power they find a way.

Making the same joke about the senator will result in the FBI breaking down your door. Funny how that works.

Considering Booker's recent pro-genocide votes, maybe don't rush to get excited about him.

I wish there was a way out of this points hell being everywhere you go. Every item gets more expensive to pay for it whether you like it or not, so don't lose out, collect today! Such a pain in the ass.

I don't suppose this really applies anywhere outside of certain countries
