re: #27 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Every bit of progress a society makes is incremental. Social Security was demonized as some horrible ruin to us all and so a lot was done to try and fuck it up. It finally passed and while not perfect, it’s kept many people from complete ruin.

This is what I wish Bernie would get out in front of and explain to his young and often impatient followers. Americans are spoiled, we expect things to happen fully formed when we want them. Nothing in politics or civilization works like that.
