We don’t have the Democrats. The wealthy have both parties. The US has one party and a bunch of kayfabe to create an illusion of choice.

I'm really interested to see whatever is in that DNC election postmortem. Surely someone over there must see that the status quo isn't even a starter.

Their donors are all that matters to them. It's literally that simple, there's no secret strategy group, its just rich people tell them to do something, and they do it.

It’s sad to see this picture of Marie Perez here. When she was running, her republican opponent was truly awful and it made her seem like an angel in comparison. But here she is just regularly voting against our wishes.
