collapse of the old society

Maybe I didn't make the point clear.

The DNC is run by corporatists, who are bad at running and winning elections. But they, through their spokespeople, maintain a perception of knowing, in-spite of the perpetually increasing body of evidence that they are bad at this thing.

Democrats are bad at politics, and in-spite of themselves, progressives have swooped in to save the day time and time again. Yet they insist they know what they are doing. That they know better.
