    How many elections will the Democrats need to lose before they realize that “I’m not the other guy” isn’t some kind of rallying cry that will galvanize the voter base.

      If someone like FDR gets elected again, moderates might lose control of the Dem.party for ever.

      If Republicans win, that just means they take a break before moderate Dems get to take their turn again

      There’s a reason the DNC fight progressives but boosted trump in the 2016 primary.

      They’ll always pick a temp loss of power over a permanent one.

        Another round of Trump is likely to be a permanent problem. They’re done with democracy, and their base is fine with that.
