Double Up, Double Down

They're not quitting:

“Democrats are deeply fractured, rudderless, and struggling to figure out at the most basic level what their message and strategy should be,” Holly Otterbein wrote in Politico Magazine. Otterbein interviewed more than 30 Democratic leaders and consultants for the piece. She continued, “Some longtime Democrats are worried, even enraged, that few of their leaders have reexamined their prior positions — let alone shown a willingness to consider a dramatic break with party norms or practice.” Regardless of what end of the ideological spectrum they're coming from, radicals do not "reexamine their prior positions" in preparation for changing them. Right now, it's Democratic Party radicals — socialists, greens, gender identity true believers, radical feminists, racialists, and other identity freakazoids — who are in control of the levers of power in the party and are in no hurry to let go.

They're going to keep digging that hole...
