I think these sorts of candidates may become more & more "viable" because politicians who fucking *know* that the future doesn't rest on them finding compromise & slowly making the world better would not give in so easily or play nice with the system.

If someone believes that they must hold political office to make change, it is easy to convince them to constantly compromise in gut-churning ways, because incrementalism demands that they must stay in power no matter what compromises it takes.
