It just struck me that the coalition of the left seems to be showing cracks, not over ideology, but over portions of the movement rejecting incrementalism.
I should have seen it with the election of the Squad, but today it's much more obvious.
That aversion to incrementalism was one of the huge hangups we've had on the right, one of the barriers to making progress on our own goals.
We were much less likely on the right to take small wins and move in the desired direction over time.
We've paid for that all-or-nothing philosophy.
Not to say that some 'slow your roll' Republicans were never interested in going in our direction.
But the incremental approach isn't good to fundraise off of, either.
But I don't ever recall seeing the left go after their own heel-dragging members like this before. This seems like a new dynamic, and something we should consider.
Maybe that explains why even after polls must have pushed left leaders to denounce riots and violence after 100+ days, the riots are back/still on.
RBG is just the latest excuse to take to the streets for the impatient contingent on the left.
