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.
If progressives know how to win elections better than the DNC then why don’t they just win enough elections to control the DNC?
Partly because of constant sabotage from within their own party.

Fetterman ran as progressive and ended up being republican after getting elected.
Sinema ran as progressive and ended up being republican after getting elected.
What you’re referring to isn’t sabotage, it’s democrats trying to vet candidates because progressives don’t.
Sure. Like anyone at all believes AOC or Bernie is going to flip to R.
After I replied to you I read the rest of the discussion and saw how absolutely willing you are to be a jerk about it, and how absolutely unwilling you were to consider any other point of view, so you actually needn’t have replied, and had I seen that first I would not have commented.

How was I being a jerk? By not repeating the echos in this echo chamber?
What point was I not willing to consider and how did you prove I didn’t consider it? Or did you not prove what I considered, and made up that lie because I’m not repeating echos in an echo chamber?
If you’re only willing to comment to people that will circle jerk with you then you should assess your bias.
What makes you think that I’d be interested in defending a claim I didn’t make?
What makes you think I wanted to know if you’re interested in defending a claim?
This implies a fair primary process.
How did any progressives get elected if our primaries are unfair?
How do progressives win against the GOP when they don’t play fair?

They got elected despite the party’s interference.
How do progressives win against the GOP when they don’t play fair?
The GOP doesn’t control national elections like the DNC/DCCC/DSCC controls primaries.
Multiple progressives lost their primaries recently and blame AIPAC funding. Criticizing democrats for catering to donors. While losing to democrats because they catered to donors.
All while claiming they can win elections better than democrats.
The GOP will also be catering to donors.
I was talking about the way the party runs (or eschews) its primaries. You pivoted to international donors.
I’m talking about winning and losing primaries. You’re cherry picking examples.
Yes, money is power and power is politics. What is your point exactly?
Progressives will continue to lose for this reason.
