Re: 115th Congress - Fantastik! Try to remember we vote in November.
Incremental change is accomplished by constant radical pressure. If you start out with mealy mouthed ambitions you will achieve nothing.
A Democrat and a Republican are negotiating over the Democrat's watch. The Democrat wants as much money as possible but is willing to sell for $100. The Republican is willing to buy for $100 but wants to pay as little as possible. For his opening offer, the Democrat says "$100" and the Republican says "$0." They eventually settle for $50.
Repeat for 40 years on education, housing, taxes, social spending, non-military scientific research, infrastructure, and a thousand other needs.
That's how this country was hacked to pieces. To the Dems, "incrementalism" means never ask for too much, you could scare people. To the GOP it means "always demand everything and as soon as you settle re-open negotiations and keeping pushing, pushing, pushing." The Dems try to be fair, the GOP tries to WIN. And so, the GOP wins.
