Just own it if your goal and actions are to throw a cog in the machine to screw over the other side in an attempt to win in 2024. That's better than pretending that caring about getting things done is your primary goal when it's obviously not.
I wish both parties would get their heads out of their asses and cooperate to make our political system ever so slightly less of a shitshow than it currently is, but barring that at least they can be honest.
Anyone actually paying attention knows this. It's a game, and they're playing it to the hilt. Of course the GOP would be playing the same game if the situation were reversed, so they're not blameless. But I'm certainly not going to absolve the Dems of their responsibility for the current mess, in exactly the same way I would not for the GOP if the situation were reversed.
