With enough pressure from their constituents, the Democrat party will absolutely change into whatever we want it to. Look at the Republican party. They found out their constituents really liked racism and authoritarianism and that party basically became unrecognizable compared to a quarter century ago to give it to them. I’m old enough to remember the Republican party being assholes, but not on this level. When I was younger they would absolutely not have behaved the way they currently behave. But their constituents gave them the thumbs up, so here we are.
Democrat legislators very, very much want to keep their gravy train jobs. They’ll morph into whoever they need to be to keep them.
But that pressure has to start significantly before an election and it has to be big enough that they can’t ignore it.
