They already did, that’s what Biden and Kopmala was. You think the Democrats just accidentally stumbled into picking the most socially reactionary option out of like 20 candidates? You think they just so happened to pick a cop during the BLM riots? This was the Bill Maher centrist wing of the party flexing

The Dems picked a social reactionary in 2008, in order to appease the bigots among the mega-donor class.
Biden only got the nod in 2020 because the Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Kamala, and O'Rourke campaigns flubbed out. He was their last-ditch safety candidate.

It's helpful to remember that the Dems, as an institution, really aren't one big party but a handful of regional parties acting as a cartel. They're like "The Five Families", with all the attendant infighting and backstabbing. Biden being forced to take Kamala as VP was the California party leaders demanding a seat at the table with the Atlantic Coast wing by proxy. But prior to the early states shaking out, it was much more of a free-for-all with some very real conflict between internal factions.
The Dems simply didn't make the mistake of the GOP in 2016 and let Bernie continue to run in the top 1/2 against a field of losers forever. Without consolidation, Biden would have gone down like Ted Cruz or John Kasich.
Lathe: The democrats will run on an anti-woke platform in 2024, criticizing AOC as a tankie-wokie.
Haha
I'm in danger
:AyyyyyOC-big:
