I don't honestly see why that would be the case. If they've already won, why bother changing?

As we see with the Republicans eating themselves, there will always be opportunists looking to take down their own and fill the Gap. But we can use that to our advantage to get the legislation we actually want. But we kind of have to take care of the crazies before we can 100% focus on fixing our house.

That didn't exactly answer the question. If Democrats consistently get all the power, why would they bother changing? Don't they already have what they want?

Speaking for myself, voting for down ballot candidates is the first step towards changing a party. My home city secured a progressive majority in 2022, and previous elected progressives are now running for higher offices. It's always a process, and when done right provides better changes for the years to come.
