Re: 2016 confessions & unpopular opinions

A lesser evil is still an evil though. And voting for one is like paying the Danegeld, it guarantees you'll never get a candidate that aims any higher than lesser evil. Plus there was 100% zero chance of Hillary walking on stage after the election as President Elect and saying "Look, I know you only voted me with your noses held so I won't take this as mandate to introduce more corporatism or fighting in the Middle East". She would hve gone out there and claimed full endorsement, not as a Lesser of Two Evils, but for economic and taxation policies she knew was unwanted.

It sucks at the time, but eventually an electorate has to put its foot down and demand something other than a lesser of two evils candidate. I know people claim that this was the wrong time, but it was always going to be the wrong time because it was always going to be facing the greater of two evils. Sometimes you just have to suffer the evil to remind yourself why you need the good.

this, in particular, I think is just wrong - other, more gradual mechanisms of change exist, and I would argue are more effective

Incrementalism is the reason Trump is president now. You can argue it's more effective if you want, but you'll be wrong.

What the hell do you mean when you say that incrementalism is the reason Trump is the president now
