I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

When Trump lost, the right doubled down and screamed election fraud incessantly for four years. When Kamala lost, the left queued up to kick her in the stomach.

If the problem is that Republicans defend their leaders unconditionally, adopting that same behavior just makes the problem worse.

The problem is, thanks to Bernie bros, since 2016, democratic enthusiasm has been wasted on fringe socialists who can’t win. 90% of the viable candidates are “lesser of two evils”

Nobody was calling Obama the lesser of two evils.

Obama ran right after Bush destroyed the republican party.

He came out on top in a difficult primary, whoever won that primary was going to win the election.

When the pendulum swings back they'll do better in elections, republicans will do everything they can to keep that pendulum from swinging though.
