The Democrats would rather lose with a neoliberal+unpopular candidate than win with a popular candidate. Because they serve similar corporate interests as the Reps. Only with a completely different Culture War shtick than the Reps.
That you frame this as being “factually, morally, academically” correct is funny—what justice does the Dems fight for? Not Palestinians. Not the average American. Just well-off women (now white or Jamaican) having “their turn” as the commander in chief.
It's wasn't meant to be factual, its presenting the narrative the Democrats tell themselves. "We are the academic, rational side" I'm not arguing the factuality of this because it doesn't matter. Regardless if it's true or not, it's missing the fact that you must also take the emotional state of the listener when presenting ideas. And while the Democratic side is hyper attuned to notice the emotion of being offended they are absolutely tone deaf to fear.
