    One group thinks incremental progress is better than going backwards

    The other group apparently thinks it’s better to let it keep going backwards until it burns down so we can replace it all at once

      If they had supported genocide with the same incrementalist approach, no one would have complained because netanyahu would still be waiting on the first peashooter.

      “incrementalism” is just how people who don’t want to keep their promises justify breaking their promises.

        Sounds good, I guess we’ll just keep sliding the Overton window to the right in the meantime

          I mean, it’s not like establishment democrats are interested in moving it to the left.

            I mean, it’s not like an all-or-nothing voting approach will lead to the Republicans winning and dismantling democracy.

            Oh wait.
