They'll say it was because she didn't pick Shapiro as her running mate
God, I hope not. They would, though. "Go even farther right! That's what we need to do!"
I'm playing with the idea that this is all intentional, with the goal of discipling Dem voters to accept more and more right wing politics. Like next round they're going to trot out actual Hitler and scream "He's electable if you vote for him!"
The coalition they built was a win-win if the Dems' goal was not to win but to push the party further right.
If they won without any youth or progressive vote, then they would have carte blanche to tell them to fuck off in future elections.
If they lose, they'll blame the election on progressives and youths and tell them to fuck off in future elections.
