The answer is simple: They don't want people to take care of their communities; to them that tax money should be going to billionaires and corporations (and, by extension, themselves). The actions of the DNC make a lot more sense if you assume they don't stand for any of the things they claim to stand for.
Same reason they picked Harris: they're drinking their own kool-aid on identity politics. Just like how because Harris is a black woman they tried to sell her as a progressive feminist and not the bootlicking prosecutor she actually is, they assumed that because Walz was an old white guy he was only pretending to use progressive rhetoric and shat their pants when they realized he was genuine about it.
They wouldn't have nominated him if they thought he was actually progressive.
Defaulting to assuming the best about a garbage party?
I don't give democrats the benefit of the doubt any longer. They have proven themselves completely untrustworthy over the course of decades.
Betray the left enough times and the pattern of behavior makes it the most likely conclusion.
Ok, So we can count you as a satisfied sea lion, then?
You do realize it's just bad faith to assume sea lioning, especially when you're the one repeating your already held beliefs without evidence...
Mind, I agree that the Democrats' track record speaks for itself. Their attention on progressives amounts to the same kind of effort given by the popular kid at school being forced to do a class project with the nerd. They want all the credit while doing less than nothing to actually help.
That... is a fair point. In that case I have no idea.
