I didn't specify president per se.
Politicians in most modern governments, of course, aren't emperors who issue edicts and instantly enact sweeping change.
The imaginary politician in this scenario would run what that platform expressing the ideal. They then try to get those policies enacted against the opposition, which is both the inertia of the bureaucracy and opposing political winds.
You saying the imaginary person running for president with that platform couldn't snap their fingers and put it in place doesn't mean they wouldn't steer the government in that direction, thats almost always the best we can do and I don't think we should give up because the change we want isnt immediate
