Yeah, a lot of people think they’re dumb but I think they’re totally, fully aware of how full of shit they are. Why else would they spend so much time obsessing over losing their half of the duopoly? The DNC knows they have the easiest, cushiest job in the world and spoilers threaten that job security. Being a politician in a lib democracy is like being chased by a bear; you don’t have to be the fastest, you just have to not be the slowest.
