But when has incremental change ever worked? Ever, ever, ever?

Did it get rid of the Nazis? Did it fix the Great Depression? Did it fix the Confederate States? Did it bring in civil rights?

What big problems were ever solved by incremental change? Can you name even one?

Look at US healthcare - there was a flurry of activity there in the 70s, and then almost 50 years of "incremental change".

Obamacare was more "incremental change" the first in two generations.

And yet more Americans are uninsured at any time in the last 30 years. People still regularly die simply because they can't afford medical treatment. Families often lose everything they have, simply because one of them got a difficult disease. This happens in no other developed country in the world!

Democrats are content with tiny little change, and then the Republicans get a Trump, Bush or Reagan, who makes huge, sweeping changes in the other direction.

"One step forward, twenty steps back" is not a winning formula.
