I just don’t think "Democrats" care. They have a real, "We'll get'em next time" attitude despite losing ground. They are going to have shocked pikachu faces after they’ve been rendered out of existence by Republican policies and America will be left holding the bag (filled with shit).

America will be left holding exactly as much shit as they fail to get rid of in November

It's a game for them, it is for almost everyone at the top, they don't actually understand what's at stake, and some don't care. Most of them are rich, old, and privileged. All the things that we care about don't even apply to them, they're fine either way. The only difference is the donors pay them to be more left leaning.

Traditional democrats roll over and play dead if they don’t like something or get so pedantic about shit they might as well be doing to same thing. Traditional repubs blindly toe the line, do as they’re told, and vehemently defend the orders given. Neither is a good strategy.
