Three progressive movements have risen to prominence over the past 15 years and vowed to create a fairer America: Occupy Wall Street, #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
#MeToo led to the firing (and sometimes jailing) of sexual predators, as well as the hiring of more women in prominent jobs.
Black Lives Matter led to policing reforms in some cities and the hiring of more Black Americans in prominent jobs.
Still, none of the three movements have come close to achieving their ambitions.
Instead, taxes on the affluent are near their lowest level in decades, and the number of killings by the police remains largely unchanged.
