So you're extremely indoctrinated in the liberal orthodoxy. That's why you're ignorant of how history works and think of 'change' as something that happens sometime in your grandchildren's lifetime, so gradual that you don't even notice.
I'm guessing you didn't get those three degrees of yours, mister truth underscore hurts, because of any latent intellectual curiosity of your own. You must have picked up the idea of calling yourself a socialist after your parents stopped pressuring you into more education and training. "I'm a socialist and my vision of change runs through the democratic party"
