I want to put this down as another element of how awful and infuriating it was that the Democrats pulled all the stops to torpedo Bernie in the 2020 primary, but I'm not actually sure that Bernie would've handled this better
the thing always rolling in my mind is that dem leadership are in functionally untouchable districts, so no matter what happens to the country, the people in the country, or even just the democratic party, *they're* fine, and react to every crisis as such
whether it's getting completely fucking blown out in 2010 or an attempted coup that could've ended with them dead, there is nothing they can't or won't respond to "let's just keep doing the same shit because i'll still be in the same place next year"
