In general, this is true. We don't need to blow everything up and start over. But, as a good negotiating tactic, you start with everything and the kitchen sink and work your way back from there. You don't start small because then you usually end up with nothing ... which seems to be the Democrats' plan for the last few decades.
Donald Trump pretended he was going to bring back coal mining jobs. Republicans keep selling that tax cuts will trickle down. These were all lies. But voters believed them and voted for them.
So why shouldn't Democrats forcefully advocate for health care, clean water, a higher minimum wage, green jobs, etc.? These are policies that will help the majority of citizens and actually create jobs. These are the policies citizens want. This isn't revolutionary change, this is the historical platform of the Democratic Party.
Democrats - enough with the baby steps. Get a spine and fight for policies that will help the American people. Voters are sick of the double-speak and goose-stepping. They don't want the calm, practical status quo. They want someone with principles to get shit done. Enough of the middle-of-the-road, mealy-mouthed politicking. Take a stand and get something done.
