69. Actually it does. (make you less left.)

Traditionally liberalism has always been anti-incrementalism. It was why FDR had such problems with the liberals of his day, they refused to do things piecemeal too. Of course, FDR's liberals were syndicalists and socialists like Upton Sinclair. They actually wanted radical things.

We just want the president to stop kowtowing to the center-right. People like to say liberals aren't the base. The center-right is certainly not the base either.
