That sounds like restrained wisdom. I see no evidence of what your talking about in the historical record. No progress has been made by a 'don't ask for too much' approach. Rather, it's a way to lower expectations of those being under served by those that benefit from the system as it is.

Again, you just witnessed the largest wealth transfer in human history under the CARES act and there was crickets about it being too radical or not slow and steady enough. Hmmm...

You also have to ignore the fact that voter preferences have no effect on legislation. Zero. Almost all legislation is being written by lobbyist. Medicare for all has broad popular support yet the current political leadership is against it in favor of a system costing twice as much while delivering terrible results compared to our peer countries.

No, reducing peoples expectations is just a way of those benefiting from the system to gas light those that aren't from wondering 'where's our help?'

Trillions dropped over of the Hamptons... crickets...
