We should remember that most of the democrats stuck to their guns this time. The 8 that capitulated were slammed as traitors by the others. Whatever the party is, it is not a monolith.

MODERATORS
They did this with the knowledge of party leadership and conveniently it was 8 that were either not up for reelection or resigning.
This is more than just 8 defectors. That's what they want you to believe since, even if you live in one of their states, they're banking on you forgetting by the time they're up for reelection. It's very clear there was central planning at play here.
Oh no they got slammed!
(Next time it'll be a different handful that capitulate, and they'll get slammed too, and... nothing will change)
Whenever the Democrats have leverage, there will always be exactly enough of them who break ranks to fail the American people and support the rich.
This is a cycle we have seen dozens of times in the last 40 or so years.
