Assuming the old ghoul even lives that long.

Pretty wild suggested article on the bottom of that one:

And they wonder why people don't trust them.

Saikat Chakrabarti, executive director of Justice Democrats, has argued that the DCCC's attacks on progressives only make it more likely that the Democratic Party will continue to lose.

"Their attacks on Laura Moser's campaign, their internal memos directing their candidates to stand down on fighting for gun reform and Medicare for All--these are not just attacks on progressives but a completely incompetent strategy that will guarantee more losses," Chakrabarti said.

Yep, we've seen exactly where that strategy lead to. Democrats are out of power everywhere and they're still trying to pass "bipartisan" bills and confirming nominees nobody in their base wants.
