I think we're basically saying the same thing, except you are more optimistic on the nature of people than I am. I think that, no matter what the dems do, they lose here just because of the stupid nature of politics in the US and Americans in general. I agree it is a tactical failure, but not in the sense that it is causing them to lose seats which I think is inevitable just based on the cyclical nature of US politics. The tactical failure is not doing the greatest good they can because, no matter what they do, they're going to lose seats so they might as well do whatever they want.

Yeah I'd say I'm less optimistic about people and more about democracy in a broad sense? In a specific sense hell no, I have little faith in the future of US democracy. But that's largely because Dems suck. From my perspective if you truly believe there's nothing Dems can do to avoid losing, democracy is already dead. I don't think we are there yet, and I think some things can still be saved, but the Democratic Party's refusal to do so and other tactical failures are just slowing the bleeding. We'll get there soon though.

Basically, if it's true that people are selfish then it's utterly laughable how bad the Dems are at utilizing that for their own gain.
