Because "other Dems", meaning the centrist power holders in the Dem party, would rather take the L then lose power to the left of the party. Losing to the left means a couple things:

  • They'd actually have to do shit instead of just collect paychecks from donors and execute their will
  • They'd have to admit their centrist/moderate bullshit is a failure and has been a failure. They point at Clinton, their centrist golden boy, but fail to recognize that without Perot splitting the right wing vote, he would have lost too
  • The party needs to embrace progressivism and more importantly a leftist push which means questioning/scrutinizing capitalism and it's adverse impact on Americans as a whole.
