Late comment here, but it is only a bad strategy if you think that they care about winning elections.
They don’t. They get more donations when they don’t than when they do. Sure, you need some level of political power to maintain the ruse, and keep the lobbying money flowing, but the DNC cares about one thing and one thing only, maintaining complete control over the federal-level of the party, especially against the left-wing, because if the left-wing gets in, then all of those lucrative lobbying deals no longer exist.
It’s not an addiction to failure. It’s a strategy of failure. And it works extremely well. When the Republicans win, not a single sitting federal-level Democratic politician suffers, because they all are rich enough to avoid the consequences. They know we ‘have to’ vote for them, so they give us our ‘only option’ even when anyone who isn’t blinded by the propaganda knows they are a loser. Because it doesn’t matter one way or the other to them, as long as they maintain control, they will be able to get what they want.
When you start to think about it this way, suddenly everything the DNC does makes complete sense and is logical.
