It's also true that representative democracy thrives on incremental change from the center and that too much radical change too often leads toward a government based on "permanent revolution" - until the people finally say "enough". We are not currently talking about medicare for all because Eugene Debs or Norman Thomas won a socialist landslide, but because bit by bit - Social Security - Medicare - Medicaid - Obamacare - the realm of the possible was expanded incrementally. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/11/07/media-biased-against-elizabeth-warren-229907 The next revolutionary challenge doesn't have to do directly with medical care, but with climate change that at some point might very quickly become extreme and irreversible, faster than incremental politics can handle. The immediate existential threat of climate change is how the peoples most affected take out their anger on the peoples most responsible for it. == topic theory 1 ===== impact 15 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2019-12-26 priority 1 ratio 13 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Centrist bias topic theory wordrate 0 words 152 ID 1032690527075466 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1032690527075466 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 impress 15 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 12 likeuusers 12 matchedlinkclicks 1 oimpress 15 oreach 13 posted "12/26/2019 08:21:50 AM" postlinkclicks 1 reach 13 type Link ========== Congress can walk, chew gum, impeach, legislate, and spend money, all at the same time!

Then as now, you could deduce what the left or right were up to because they'd always accuse the other side of doing what they were doing. But it was socialism for the rich, free enterprise for the poor. Like their ideological forebears, Republicans have been seduced into Trumpists by a series of small steps, one day at a time.
