Good points but in the end I think the democrat party gets what it wants when it wants. They will only let you step outside of the party line so far. They tolerate the squad's antics because they think they are a net benefit bringing in young and minority voters.
Look at RFK. He was a viable candidate who could win but didn't tow the party line so they cut off his secret service detail.
They might also know that this election is already lost and now it's just about damage control. Better to let Kamala crash and burn than to have her ignite a civil war.

I know you're just being sarcastic, but I am getting really tired of hearing about how everything is an existential crisis. Seems like everything is an existential crisis these days.
Trump wins? End of democracy. Didn't respect someone's pronouns? Denied their existence. Any unusual weather? Civilization ending climate disaster.
It's getting extremely tiresome. And it's stifling any real debate or progress. Worse, it gives cover to malicious actors who are just fleecing the public in the name of fighting theses supposedly existential crises

I believe that's the point.
