    Because the party itself is broken.

    Democrats have a leadership problem, in that there needs to be a full purge and replacement to clear out the institutional rot. The backlash the establishment dems have gotten is on full display with Platner, in that Mainers ignored what the party wanted and voted on principal.

    No more “paying your dues to the party” no more “change takes time, guys” no more “vote blue no matter who”. That thinking has let that orange sack of facist pigshit rape our country and its institutions.

    And Schumer and the dems folded at EVERY JUNCTURE when faced with the fact that they actually have to do something to stop Trump.

    Tl:Dr - The Democrats in charge had their chance to fix this years ago, but they chose institutions over people, and now they are paying the piper.
