I agree, but think that the Democrats understand that using reform is a staged process, which is why they can't go straight out shouting for revolutionary changes. Burn the house down while you sleep, so to speak. You have to get people to not raise the buttstocks to their shoulders, it's not enough to just switch leadership and national course.
I don't think they care to cut the reform process short.
Geeks, though, are an interesting bunch. Much varied in political affiliations and seems a bit different, IMO, than other groups. Anyway, some of the vocal ones call the MSM right wing... a bit of a contrast.
