      Paid to lose™

      Seriously though, they're probably doing exactly what the key DNC capital backers want them to.

      It's like a (american) football team down by 3 with 2 minutes left and running out the clock on themselves. Can you imagine being a fan of a team that sits on their own balls every chance it gets

        The Women's March in DC marshalled 3 million women into the lawn of the capital to celebrate Hillary's inauguration protest Trump's Presidency.

        I have to wonder... why not put out the call and bring them back in. Occupy Capital Hill. Do all those obnoxious things that liberals love to do. Shut down Congress by the sheer mass and magnitude of angry white women storming through the corridors of power. Have every pro-Barrett Senator holed up in their offices, afraid to come out. Hell, with COVID still rampant, this threat would be twice as effective.

        Democrats could do this. They could ring the alarm and send forth their heralds - their Oprahs and Ellens and Michelle Obamas - to raise a literal army of women to protest this.

        But they don't.

        I don't think it's because they want to lose. They'd be happy if McConnell tripped over his own dick and failed to push Barrett through. But they don't want to turn into that kind of party. The kind of party where people start seeing themselves as part of a larger ideological project. A massive national community, even. And start demanding things in a way that a massive number of political activists have successfully done for generations.

        Democrats don't want another Civil Rights movement. They just want you to vote. And then they want you to go the fuck home and ignore them for two years.
