I think they realize this. Their latest messaging is "get active, go out into the streets, do something". This is as much a call to action as it is an admission of helplessness on part of the Democrats. And while I support that message, I hope they also understand the fight is NOT being waged on behalf of Democrats, who need to transform as much as the GOP has or better yet disappear and make space for something better.
That's their message even if they have the presidency, the house, and a filibuster-proof majority in the senate.
The problem is the party's full of quislings. People say that "oh we're a big tent" but that just conflates being inclusive of minorities with being inclusive of people who undermine it.
