It's data point 8429748 but is there any question that Democratic leadership would rather stand pat and get steamrolled by Republicans than move even an inch towards their juniors and win?

it's the only sort of battle they know how to win, and so they keep waging it, and they keep winning it, and their coalition keeps falling to pieces because that's the only rightful reaction.

It's been this way since Reagan, nothing new here.

Yep. Unfortunately it's the only battle they actually want to win, so it's the only one they put up a fight for. Win or lose versus Republicans, they still keep their personal power and ability to launder it for cash. That's what matters to them.
