No, this is a fictitious "problem" that liberals like to say exists. The thing with incrementalism is it only works if you have someone who keeps saying "that's not far enough, we need to go further". Otherwise it stops being incrementalism & just becomes a new slightly better status quo. There Is nothing wrong with saying that policy does not go far enough but is also better than what was before, and that's good, but it can be so much better, in fact its absolutely vital to incrementalism working.

Bullshit. The people being complained about expect to have everything they want, the way they want it and want it now. All without any understanding that poo poo takes time and effort and that not every political position is capable of enacting the entire package.

Oh, and if there isn't a president on the ballot then forget about bothering to vote. Voting is for leap years only.

The people being complained about are a strawman built by centrists whenever people complain that poo poo like the ACA didn't go far enough, and then they wonder why they have trouble getting people who would like the dems to move beyond the vaguely tolerable to the polls without some sort of life threatening opponent on the other side.

Oh, so they do vote every year? Are their ballots simply not being counted then?

EDIT: Where were they in 2010?
