See for liberal politicians it doesn't really matter if they win or lose. They get to either keep grifting as the "opposition" or they get to get in on that sweet graft if they win a seat, or even better maybe get a good consulting job after leaving office.

The real goal of the democrats this election is to drag the overton window as far to the right as possible so that the left never gets another chance even half as good as Bernie (dogshit as he is)
