    Generally speaking, they do want to lose. If they actually ran on their universally popular policies, they’d win majorities large enough to where they wouldn’t have excuses to not enact their legislative mandate, which is at odds with what their corporate donors want.

      This is exactly it. The only thing they truly run on is vote for us or it’ll be even worse. They say nice things, but they have no intention of enacting most of them.
