Although To be fair, blaming McConnell and fundraising isn't exactly nothing. Oh and maybe they can sell black lives matter commerative yoga mats
Nah, they don't need those losses to do nothing. Look at the excuses they give for having a supermajority during the first congressional term under Obama -- "oh, it was really only a supermajority for a few months; oh, despite a blowout victory and an extremely charismatic president we can't possibly sell 'ramming' this through with 58 or 59 votes; oh, we couldn't have possibly passed anything further left than a Heritage Foundation pet project." They've sold the line that they're helpless in far more advantageous conditions, and they've built a (threadbare) political coalition willing to accept that as long as their lives don't get too disrupted.
Besides, the candidates themselves and all their staffers want to win for personal advancement, if nothing else. This question is like asking if a professional sports team is tanking -- the closer to the field someone is, the less likely they are to have a personal interest in losing.
Is that fucking Clyburn next to her? Lmao this really is the perfect image. Mr. Pharma bribe money.
The photographer who took this picture was also kneeling down, you can tell by the angle. Even when they're on their knees we are not allowed to look down at these people. We have to "look up" to this performative theater. Absolute hellworld.
