    yes, but it’s incrementalism backwards, as the democrats keep edging right.

    and democrat voters never have any actual real world plans either, their idea is that they’ll have to win every election 100% from now on until forever, and maybe eventually that’ll magically result in all the good things. meanwhile the best they can actuall get is a holding pattern. but they never examine that, because then they’d have to stop voting democrat.

    fucking accelerationists have a more coherent plan for the future.

      This is the most charitable way of seeing it for them, honestly.

      I think many of them don’t actually have any interest in even incremental ‘progress’, at least not any more than it is incidental to their goal of gaining and retaining electoral power.

      They abandon their ‘progress’ as soon as it becomes an electoral liability, and scold and police voters in their ‘tent’ for bringing up those issues when it isn’t to the party’s advantage. Anyone with moral or ethical principles (and are vocal about them) in the democratic voter base is liable to be pushed out as soon as it’s no longer convenient to support their interests.
