there's enough blame to go around for the non voters AND the dem leadership to be at fault for harris's loss.
Stopping trump should have been a good enough reason to get more people voting AND the dems should have done more to get those votes. Both are true.
Do Americans not have any "protest" votes, either third party candidates, or "declining" your ballot? To me, that shows that you are politically engaged and willing to take a few minutes out of your day to do your civic duty, rather than being apathetic and/or lazy.
We do have third party candidates, but most liberals would consider voting third party the same as not voting thanks to the stranglehold that the Democrats and Republicans have on our political system.
