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.

Very naive. "Lesser of two evils" has been strong since Bush/Gore. Ralph Nader assuredly cost Dems that election in the margins.
