Well yeah that's the problem. The warm, comforting joy of getting to say "I told you so" or the childlike glee of watching a group get hoisted by their own petard is nice and all, and like everyone I do love it when it happens, but it's not worth it to me.
Here's an simple objective fact I want every person attempting to run for President on the Democratic Ticket to have carved into their foreheads backwards to they have to read it everytime they look in a mirror.
Only about half of registered Democrats self identify as "liberal."
Democrat and Republican are not pure synonyms for "liberal and conservative."
At some point the DOC decided it was the Progressive Party, not the Democratic or even Liberal Party.
This is a center that cannot hold. They will split the party and the other side that has no problem with both porn star banging Trump and Evangelicals on their side, screw the cause purity anyone on our side is one more piece of power they can bring to bear (to bear or to bare? I always mix up those two) is worth it, will continue to maintain their power.
Yes on a mid to long enough time line the forces of Progressiveness will win, everything from demographics to the simple march of society make it inevitable, but I don't intend to spend the rest of my life watching the Right do as much damage as they can on the way out because the Left wants to pretend it has come down with a sudden onset crippling case of "We're too good to compromise"-itis.
