oh noooo if only there was a nascent social democratic movement that could lock up these votes for generations with only the slightest fucking compromises. guess we'll just suppress it and shoot ourselves in the foot for the 6th time

You might think that would be desirable.
But consider Michael Bloomberg is worth $60 Billion dollars. That's $60. Billion. With a B. He's going to send you enough money to get the really swank office space. You're going to be so petite bourgeoisie by the time Bloomberg's done raising money for you. Maybe even Clinton/Obama-level bourgeoisie if you play your cards right.
What are you supposed to do with young black voters? They're poor af. And half of them aren't even enfranchised, ffs.
oh yeah 100% that would be the case. this is made with the (unproven) assumption that the democratic party actually wants to win and do stuff for people
They want to win. You have a lot more fun and get paid better and enjoy all the cool perks of being a high ranking elected official when you win.
But they don't want to serve their constituents. Constituents are gross and dumb. They want you to do things that require a lot of hard work and planning and compromise. And they don't give generous kickbacks or put your friends and family on the boards of their Fortune 500 companies.
Democrats want to win the fun way. The coke and hookers way. They want to be members of the bourgeoise, not the vanguard of the proletariat.
