There are many fewer DINOs than RINOs for two reasons:
One, because the Democrat Party is inherently collectivist. You don't usually get far enough in it to see public office if you aren't already part of the groupthink.
Two, the political environment in Washington has become leftist and collectivist. If you want to do anything outside their worldview without being confronted at every turn, you have to "go along to get along" to some degree. Even principled centrists and right wingers can get beaten down, facing this constant opposition, so very few are able to succeed without some compromising of their values, and those who are just there to gain power simply give in every time while decrying the corruption to their constituents back home when they need to be re-elected.
You think Joe Manchin is a DINO? Considering he voted on Kavanaugh, against the demands of Darth Feinstein, when Lisa Murkowski did cave in as the RINO.
I know that they used to call themselves "Blue Dog Democrats" and formed a group in the 90s. However all the Blue Dog Democrats lost their seats this election though all but one of them lost to Republicans so it's not a huge loss.
Democrat In Name Only....
Same as RINO which is Republican In Name Only
Never heard of it before. Should be great on 4CHAN.
I' e always used the term, specifically when asking normies this question:
Why are there RINOs but no DINOs? Why does 1 group have to try to play both sides to get their way?

No, he is conservative Democrat. He is very much a Democrat.
