    I’m confused who the democrats are actually performing for. They have to know that at the next election the republicans are going to get steamrollered and if they play their cards right they can come out on top.

    Yet they do stuff like this, as if they’re trying to pander to MAGAs, as if that’s all help their electoral chances.

      They’re controlled opposition, at least at the national level. They’re the carrot to the stick, but both are being wielded by the same people.

      I would guess they aren’t really Democrats, they are getting big donations from MAGA backers, or most likely they know voters won’t bother to vote them out during the primaries. Some may be unopposed.
