I don't think they'd change anything. For all their projection about the left being purists, the neolibs will ONLY accept victory on THEIR terms.

They're still going to scream absurdities like "Biden HAD it" and "Josh Shapiro=charisma and would have delivered 6 states and his own!" Blue MAGA is as much a cult as OG flavor MAGA. The voters they offered nothing to left of Dick Cheney will be blamed, not a paid DNC establishment (who are also PR execs who make a cut on ineffective ad spends coincidentally) versus voters who failed their moral obligation to vote for assholes who can't be bothered to pander even.

I feel like Occam's razor points to a DNC that hates voters, as exemplified by your comment and there not being a fair DNC primary to actually select the most popular candidate for 8 years, and voters responding in kind.

Blinken and McGurk were egging Netanyahu along this whole time while lying to us about trying to constrain him and would have remained in Kamala's administration and capitulated just as much as Trump, if not more so, with Liz Cheney as secretary of defense.

I'd argue it's a bad career path overall. You will get laid off working as a dev, it's just how it works, and if you haven't managed a 10+ headcount by your mid 30's you will find yourself facing ever escalating ageism 35 on as an old man dev. It's not a field that generally professionally rewards experience beyond 5-ish years.

Pour one out for random regional parties with anachronistic ballot access who put their third party faith in that... idk what to even call RFK Jr... a quixotic bon vivant, who takes roadkill to steak houses? A recovered addict who won't admit his habit fucked his voice up and not a flu vaccine? Rich kid is perhaps most apt.

"Neolib punches self in balls" seems to be a recurring theme in the West these days...

It's 100% on the DNC for using all its presidential energy fighting the true enemy -- actual democratic primary elections -- for eight years while Trump built a winning coalition that would have been available to a party that has primaries and picks the most popular candidate.

Have you ever considered that it's the paid staff of the DNC's job, which they are paid for, to convince voters to vote dem, not voters' job to vote for Liz Cheney to become secretary of defense while Anthony Blinken bathes in the blood of the children he slaughters and keeps his job?

I have seen enough footage of the war crimes to be confident of Blinken's guilt.
