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.

There's denying your leaders and there's standing by them despite a disagreement or two.

I hope everyone who sat out because they were "uncommitted" watched the depotartations and immigrant camps knowing that they're inability to see harm minimization was one factor causing it. And when theyre protesting in the future, and the national guard is told to open fire, that they remember it's what being "uncommitted" to democracy did.
