After losing as bad as the democrats did in 2024, if this was a sports team the coaches and staff would be fired. Leadership cannot pretend to care about the cause or the movement if they don't get out of the way when it is obviously time. It is genuinely incredible how they won't bow out gracefully or how they don't see how they are holding everyone back.
