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.

Trump has broken people's brains. No they wouldn't, but whatever you say chap. I don't think people will dance in the streets if Ellison wins either, it's not like he's Eugene Debs. People stating that they prefer the Sanders backed candidate, and that they are cynical of the guy dropped into the race by Obama is not crying he's an establishment puppet. It's a reasonable amount of cynicism after the past...I dunno, 45 years of Democratic Party politics and their attitude towards the left? But sure, it's Trump breaking peoples brains and not just you looking to whine about the left.
