I agree, this is the worst trait of democrat politicians

That requires publicly boring stuff like drafting legislation, such as “Hereafter, no funds made available by this Act shall be used…”, waiting for a must-pass bill, sitting on the conference committee, attaching the stuff as a rider, and having it pass into law at 2:03 A.M. on some idle Tuesday, riding off the Farm Bill or such. The base wants action, but the action that leads to change in this system is boring, requires institutional capture, strategic patience, and is long-term.

The foregoing omits revolution, although even those require broad organizing beyond the short-term. Further, I do not believe polarization or precarity in this country is at the level of imminent revolt.
