Are the donors really going to stick around if the Dems get plastered every election (if there is another one) and never win anything? One of three things will happen, to wit.

nothing changes and the Democratic Party is toothless, useless and abandoned.
The working populace starts a new leftist party and the Democratic Party is dead.
the DNC pushes further left and wins back some votes

I think #3 is the least likely to happen. Although in the near future I think it doesn’t matter at all, because we’ve sunk into the mid to late 1930’s Germany. I hope our allies in Europe is prepared to move forward without our support.

Their donors keep donating so they stay a right-wing party, they would rather the Dems lose as right wingers than win as more progressive.
