20. It's not like the only options are incrementalism or going to the Sierra Maestra.
Incrementalism no longer works because when you settle for mere trivial increments(like the Republican plans Obama, Edwards and HRC are backing)the GOP just gets in and removes the increments. Then sellouts like you say we have to settle for SMALLER increments. Then it repeats, and your type says we have to settle for just slowing down the decrements.
What the hell is wrong with standing on principle, starting with a strong progressive plan and actually FIGHTING FOR IT in the court of public opinion.
Your way just means settling for being to the right of even the Nineties.
Some of us want our victories to actually MEAN something.
