They don't want to motivate a voter base. They want to continue collecting giant checks from corporate donors and the 1%.
who are also donors of the gop, and the dnc survival hinges on leeches off the coattails indirectly of gop's messaging and propaganda(when gop messes things up, suddenly the dnc are electable again, and it cycles through gops culture war propaganda and than back to DNC again forever), and gifts that people like putin and meganors give them. thats why dnc rarely push for significant medicaid/care for all, or voter reform, election rigging investigation until its too late, this way if they can use it as a voting issue, and plus Education would hurt both parties in general, moreso for republican in a way it would generate less cannon fodder for the MIC if everyone has a degree and a career of that degree.
The democrats are a business, not a political party
