    Hows that incrementalism working out for you? Your party has convinced you a slow process results in progress. The only difference over the last 50 years is democrats have become the things 1980s democrats hated

        Approval ratings for both right wing parties are at historical lows, so it appears to be going pretty well.

          How do low approval ratings translate to revolution? I could equally claim those ratings for incrementalism, proof that the progressive voice has become more empowered.

      My party? And what is that? I’ll vote for the least bad candidates but I don’t have a party in American or European politics. The DNC is 90% as bad as the RNC.

      Please study history a little, and share the percentage where revolutions resulted in a net positive in the same generation. I’ll wait

        Your lesser evil that you were willing to vote for is your party, which means you are complicit in any activity that they engage in, even that lesser evil that you believe exists.

          I don’t think you know how anything works, but I’ll encourage you to keep learning about the history of revolutions, since you seemed to just ignore that point.

            Being lectured by someone supporting the party that keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over again doesn’t hold any weight

      It may come as a surprise to you that other parties and other countries exist. It may also come as a surprise to you that there are very many examples in history where the violent overthrow of an existing system lead to one clique of assholes getting swapped out for another. I’m not aware of any where this actually resulted in a better society.
