    You assume they want anything to change.

    The US is staggered and failing. I assume a lot of people want things to change.

    You assume they want to win.

    I assume they want to be in charge.

    They are TRYING TO LOSE so that they are forced to work with the Republicans

    If you look at the folks that lost this cycle, they were right in line with Biden. Dems would not have been pulled to the left by Amy McGrath and MJ Haeger.

    Who do you think they want to work with?

    Themselves. Which is why they're currently throwing a fit at The Squad over the handful of House seats they lost. They don't want to work with AOC, but they do want to command the finances of the nation.

      Oh, they want things to change, just not the basic neoliberal course of the country.

      What they want to change in regards to the fact that they are getting completely hammered by china and anti imperialism more broadly.

      They want to be in charge? How are they in charge if social movements and a few upstart congress people are calling the shots and trying to dismantle the way the country is run? They would FAR rather the Republicans have power than BLM or AOC.

      And I know the folks that lost were in line with Biden and they don't give a shit. They are screaming that they don't care on a megaphone at this point. You think they don't know that? You think they are stupid and can't figure this stuff out?

      As for the finances, would they rather have Republicans, who they agree with on basically everything or socialists run the finances who they agree with on nothing.

      Look at what happened with Corbyn. The Dems will self immolate long before any serious progressive gains any power. And if you think I'm wrong, then enjoy your epic penis flattening on the night of the long knives with rainbows they do when the time comes.
