The Democrats need you to believe they’re feckless and incompetent because otherwise people would see they actually don’t want to do any of the shit they’re not doing for us. When they want to do something they do it.
When Democrat after Democrat wins and nothing changes they have to convince us that their ideals are just being hindered by other political forces so that we don’t hold them accountable for how they actually govern.
Like these are some of the most powerful people in the world. When they want something badly enough it usually happens.
I mean don’t get me wrong they are also feckless and incompetent but they pay other people to do the work for them.
As a party they’re very much aware of their role in defanging legitimate social movements and class struggle by finding loyal liberal elements to elevate as the “representatives” and pushing the movement through a manageable process within established bourgeois institutions.
That’s why they routinely use radical rhetoric to support reactionary policies.
