    Even this seems far fetched. Why would they risk something like that in an election that had so much hanging on it.

      They were already hanging the future of the country on an old man who struggled to stay awake through press conferences.

      I’m convinced that the DNC isn’t worried about winning any more races than they have to do that they survive as a political entity. Just going off the push the minority leaders have been making and the stream of emails and phone calls I get, as someone registered independent.

      I see and hear nothing about actual policy change or progressivism from the names in the critical positions, and a lot about donations to “help us win next time, guys, for real this time!”

      My senators (both women, both dems), haven’t actually responded to any of my calls, emails, or letters asking for their stances or plans for change. I have got several form responses that end with a call for donations, though. 🤷

      Yes. As much as the Dems insist “This is a critical juncture, and we need to unite”, they mean “You need to unite behind whatever we say you need to do”.

      See post-election: The only thing the Dems want to do is wear matching outfits, rather than vote “No”.
