Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's the most beneficial for the DNC. They raise more money under Trump as a "resistance party" without appearing like they are intentionally tanking their chances. If they win, they can continue to generally do nothing and let the bourgeoisie have their way, if they lose, they can fundraise better than before and run a "better" candidate next time, ie an Obama-type.
Putting someone new as the frontrunner introduces too many variables for the DNC. They should do it, but they likely won't.
The GOP is the “natural governing party” of the US, and dems are married to the idea of being perpetual underdogs.
Even from a liberal electoralist standpoint, this is bizarre. The Conservatives under Pierre Pollievre is set to win in Canada, but you know damn well that they aren’t going to act like the Liberal Party is an all powerful force, even though they have a parliamentary system and a strong enough opposition can block some stuff.
