Gun Rights and Voting

Yeah, Dr. Hsieh was all about incrementalism and the NRA is definitely a success story on that end. She just was pointing out that an attitude of "we need to vote in the guy who is not quite as bad as the other guy" is often counterproductive.

How so? There is a stark difference between incrementally moving in the right direction, and incrementally moving in the wrong direction. Climbing up a rope one inch at a time, and sliding down a rope one inch at a time can both be classified as "incremental" movement.

In the example, the NRA is incrementally making movements towards a pro-gun America, where as voting the lesser of two evils is incrementally moving towards an anti-gun America.
