The Democrats have never had any purpose beyond defending “process”. They will watch their system die; all the while saying “we followed the rules”. It’s exactly what the liberals role has always been. Their purpose was never to listen to the left. Their purpose has always been a place where left wing electoral politics go to die. They are continuing to serve that purpose now.

Do individual democrat politicians purposely do this? No, but they wouldn’t have been allowed to be elected if they were the people that would do anything else.

Edit: I think we both agree. I just wanted to say that in addition to what you said.
