10. I'd like to see the Centrist Establishment conspiracy explained.

I'd like someone to actually type the words without laughing: Democrats want Collins to win and Republicans to control the Senate because .... because ... something about money (bribed by billionaires, corporations, oligarchs) and how the old establishment centrists despise and fear progressives.

So, Democrats are going to all the trouble of pulling off a complicated conspiracy theory for decades, why exactly? If it's money, what are Democrats spending it on? Where are their private jets and private islands and numerous houses? If nobody is going to explain it, then they shouldn't keep littering DU with it. If the goal is to give me headaches, success!
