What was protecting them was a biased DNC who were fine losing a seat to a Republican to shut up a progressive.
We have an unbiased DNC now.
Which is all we need, the DNC doesn’t need to worry about kicking out incumbents the voters hate. We just need to let voters pick what they want in primaries.
And now that it’s going to be competitive again, we’ll see a lot more retire anyways.
Can you picture Pelosi actually having to do debates and campaigning against a 40 year old progressive with actual authentic grass roots support?
It’s funny: before the change in DNC leadership, @givesomefucks@lemmy.world stood out for how harshly critical he was of the Democrats, to the point that he often got downvoted because people thought he was some kind of concern troll. Then, of course, all his dire predictions came true.
It’s almost as if he’s paying close attention and understands the DNC very well.

You have a lot more faith in the DNC than I feel is warranted.

I won’t believe it until I see it for at least three election cycles.
And I won’t be holding my breath.
I’ve been disappointed every single time and have zero hope.
