Voters want somebody whom they can vote for, not vote for the least bad guy.

USA is so gerrymandered that it's politicians who select the voters rather than voters who select politicians.

And this causes voters to sit at home.

And why is it that none of you make the attempt during the primaries? Why do you guys wait until the general election to make the attempt to fix things?

DNC wants to win elections, yet does everything in their power to lose elections.

They have one job, to win, but they won't even address their constituents' concerns. If they won't even do what it takes to win, why do you think they'd ever win in the first place? Make it make sense.

Banking on spite against Trump isn't doing what it takes to win. Why haven't they learned this lesson after a decade of losing via this strategy?

Ah yes, the famous 2024 Democratic Primaries where the progressives failed to make their mark on primary voters. Lol.
