It could be more that they want to win but the tools they could use to win are "out of bounds". They do want to win, but they have to win somehow while giving us nothing since the donors that brought them there will remove their power to do anything the moment they go against their will.

It's not that there's a conspiracy or anything, it's a simple reason that you already know: the democratic process is thoroughly and completely bought by corporate private interests to the point that it can only work for them.

Makes complete sense. Medicare for All is incredibly popular, and a serious push for it would win a lot of votes, but they can't do it because it's not friendly to capital.
