The ideal situation for democrats is losing elections.
They get to concede gracefully and then claim the moral high ground without anybody expecting them to do anything.
And then fundraise by saying they would totally be better on all these issues if they were just in power, please nobody bring up what they did last time they had power.
At this point I’m convinced that the Democrats are actively trying to lose.
Like unironically.
They hate being in power. They have to do work, everyone complains, and the fundraising dries up.
Easier to fundraise from the opposition
