It’s becoming increasing difficult to deceive the public into believing they represent anyone except the corporations that find their campaigns. Their marketing is a return to the “normal” grift instead of the overt, accelerated one.

Democrats can’t win elections on policy action, they need Republicans as imaginary adversaries to actually win elections. They have no interest in actually stopping them.

They’re not imaginary. I’d allow saying that historically the threat they represnted to the Democrats goals was small and mostly just delays.
The new MAGA doesn’t play with a rulebook, last time there were enough things in play that meant they were forced to live with delaying what rules they didn’t like. This time there is nothing at all in their way, and they have no reason at all to even maintain appearances of giving a damn.
Dems shat the bed when they decided that the inconsistent compromised wins were less risky than doing anything meaningful. This election is just what happens when nobody comes in to clean out the mess.

I should clarify that I didn’t mean to suggest that Republicans are not a threat to humanity, they absolutely are, nothing imaginary about that. But rather, they are not a real threat to the interests of the leadership of the Democratic party, since they both serve the same masters.

Because taking action isn’t in their self-interest. That’s it.
