no more half measures walter
And you wont get enough allies to get anything done. This is what Divide and Conquer looks like. It's only a half measure if you stop at the first accomplish. Let the populist get a taste of a social safety net again and they'll want to push for more the next time.
The last time they "got a taste of a social safety net", they gleefully embraced the neoliberal turn and dismantled it.
