The US is governed with a tendency to the right but with a strong demand from the majority of the population for a move to the left. However, the political powers do not listen to the majority, they only listen to who pay and those are the big guys: the rich capitalistic individuals of this world... and they pull to the right.

Whoa, Ryanmur that's a big generalisation bro. There are populists who by definition listen to the majority. I think you'll find most have to to survive, yet they also have to balance catering to those with power and money - especially media moguls - because of their influence over the said majority.
