Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.

    It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.

    And this is new, how? It feels like they’re trying to throw every election. They never even bother to call out Republicans on their shenanigans and they spend a lot of time being like “We know the fascists passed these very fascist laws, but everything falls apart if we don’t take the obviously fascist laws they passed with the seriousness they deserve by enforcing those fascist laws. We have to play by these rules they’ve set that benefit them and harm us, because if we did that, it would be unfair and undemocratic.” (Conveniently ignores Republicans being unfair and undemocratic.)

        Ehh. It’s more like… what other choice do you have? Don’t gotta outrun the bear…just the GOP.

        This is why we need ranked choice voting.
        Anyone who’s even brushed the surface of game theory knows fptp is the easiest to manipulate and a race to the bottom.

      Controlled opposition!
      The democrats indeed find the Republicans very useful for moderating Democrat policies without taking the blame.
