The dirty little secret of the DNC is that they don’t even really care about winning elections. They only want to keep the soft money flowing, and that requires never actually enacting any progressive policies, and if that means that they alienate voters and lose elections, that’s fine by them.
In fact, they sort of prefer to lose. If they win, then they’re stuck having to go through all sorts of bizarre contortions to somehow manage to continue to fail to do the things they promise their supporters they intend to do and they’re the ones stuck with the blame when the policies they enact on the behalf of the donor class inevitably make things worse for everyone else. Bit if they lose, they don’t have to actually do anything, and they get to fundraise on the need to stop the Republicans.
Yes.
