At the end of the day saying vote for me because the other guy's worse is never going to inspire voters. Elections about getting people to vote for you. It's as simple as that, you have to sell people on you. They have to vote for you. That's an incontrovertible rule of politics that will never be overcome and the Democrats don't fucking understand it.
Barely. The loss in 2016 and the tight race in 2020 wasn't enough to sound the alarms. They still tried to win with Harris because she wasn't Trump, instead of finding a worthy candidate.
Sorry, man. I despised Harris but still preferred her to win, hands down. But Democrats have only themselves to blame. Trying to blame the voters who refused to vote in Harris just because she wasn't Trump in dishonest and anti-democratic. It's the exact posture that will keep enabling Democrats to come forward with these crappy candidates and (unsuccessfully) blackmailing the progressist voters to vote for them.
Thus, the exact posture that allows Trump to win.
Third party voters didn't cost Harris the election. But if it did, you'd better your ass the Democrats would take the next election seriously. And they would win.
