AH Challenge: A more social/economic Progressive America

How could the United States have more acceptance opinion of progressive polices while still keeping both the New Left and New Deal coalition in line with each other and without Jimmy Carter presidency? From what I've read from according to many political experts, one of the downfalls of the left in America had lot to do with the counter culture of the late 1960's and the fact many figures who help shape the New Deal coalition had move on to the Grand Old Party with Richard Nixon re-election campaign in 1972. Let's say Ronald Reagan wins in 1976 and then pretty much everything that happened during Jimmy Carter time of office applies to Reagan and some liberal such as Walter Mondale or whoever you have in mind kills Reagan in a 1980 landslide.
