We’ve seen how their brand of self-sabotage looks when they’re “winning” and decide they won’t deliver for people. E.g. Lieberman, Sinema, Manchin… We know what it looks like when they’re out of power, lots of easy fundraising and grandstanding and empty promises… here’s how it looks when they hold no levers of power but are still winning. These conditions require the same manufactured “failure” of leadership, but this particular manifestation feels even more egregious. They’re not just spiking the football one yard from the end zone, they’re chest bumping each other after handing the ball to the defense.
