    The Democratic Party has a reputation for being disorganized. However, it seems like they’re well coordinated in being incredibly ineffective as an opposition to Republicans. From the unprincipled party leadership, to the feckless elected officials, to the voters that never hold them to account, they’re impressively bad at politics.

      to the voters that never hold them to account

      How many of these lawmakers even had primary challengers last time they ran?

        Yeah. Incumbents often run unopposed for their party. And sometimes even completely. Even good politicians should fend off primary challenges. It helps keep them focused on serving who the power belongs to lest it be taken from them.

      As Will Rogers once stated

      I’m not a member of an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.
