You seen some of that in 2020 also. There were 3 House incumbent pro-life Democrats that were defeated in their democratic primaries by pro-choice democrats in swing or slightly red districts. All 3 pro-choice Democratic candidates lost in the general. I’m positive had the Democrats stuck with those 3 pro-life incumbent democrats, they would have won. Those 3 lost seats were part of the 13 seats the Republican Party gained in 2020.

If the goal is winning elections, general elections that is. The democrats shot themselves in the foot in order to make a statement. Instead of having a 225-210 majority, the democrats have a 222-213 majority. Instead of the Republicans needing a net gain of 5 seats to retake control of the house, the GOP would have needed 8. Those three lost seats in order to make a statement may cost the Democrats control of the house.

Being a non-partisan, I never saw the need to make a statement. I focused on having the candidates with the best chances of winning in November. Even if those candidates are Manchin’s and Sinema’s. Every democrat elected counts as to who controls what. Without Manchin and Sinema, the senate would be controlled by Republicans.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
