The people saying "Genocide, punishing immigrants, tough-on-crime rhetoric, and complicated, means-tested bullshit decreases your bases turnout" are not at fault for those unpopular policies decreasing turnout. Everyone who failed to publicly criticize the dems so they could maintain the delusion they could win while promising to do the opposite of what the people whose votes they depend on want are far more culpable.

No, the people who decided not to vote because the better candidate wasn't better enough are to blame

I can agree both those things happened, but you're saying one of them had a much stronger effect and so far i'm not seeing any evidence presented
