He often says that democracy is making changes by small degrees, rather than in chunks. Perhaps chunks are what's needed with certain things. Even a country derived from the most crazy pilgrim zealots managed to cope with grooms marrying grooms and brides marrying brides; once the change has taken place, the sting gets taken out of the issue's, um, tail. It's all the overimaginative hypothesis and what ifs ("How will we defend ourselves from the government without guns?") that come prior which are hard to navigate around. Unfortunately, the political dynamic has been like this for quite awhile: Republicans can be as maverick and undemocratic as they like, but those on the other side can only tip-toe around certain issues without being polled as "one of the worst presidents in history". Maybe one day there'll be a maverick leftist to break this dynamic- a charismatic dynamo with the values of Bernie Sanders- but that hasn't happened yet.
