Even this analysis doesn’t capture the real problem.

Asserting that the DNC “fails to learn” implies that they have some goal they’re not meeting.

They don’t.

Their goal is to rake in as much corporate soft money as possible, and by that standard, this past election was a resounding success. And nothing else, including winning elections, matters to them.

So they’re not really “failing” at anything. In fact they’re succeeding nicely. It’s just that they’re succeeding at being corrupt, self-serving and deceitful.
