    Same, and I’d really like people to treat actions as steps in the right direction and not a step backwards if things aren’t magically fixed with one sweeping action.

    Honestly, I imagine that’s part of the Republican messaging strategy. And should be part of the Democratic messaging going forward. “We’re not magicians, we’re not going to fix everything with a snap of our fingers and a wave of our hands. It’s going to take time, and a great deal of effort. It’s also going to take more than showing up once every two to four years for the average citizen. Vote in primaries, vote in run-offs, vote in your local town council elections. Those are the races that are going to have the most significant personal impacts, not national races.”
