No its the DNC's fault. The onus is on them to win votes. I voted for Harris, but i wasnt excited to do so. That lack of excitement kept people home. Harris ran to the right and didnt give a fuck about winning leftists or the working class, banking on Liz Chaney to win her Republican votes. It didnt work. The dems need to focus on being progressive, not being slightly less worse than Republicans in the grand scheme of things.
Your assignment of blame assumes that most people shouldn't be involved in their democracies at all. But that's kinda not how democracies are supposed to work. For the people, by the people.
No doubt, the parties and the system share a large degree of the blame and they're extremely far away from being perfect — but the notion that politicians have to come to you and dazzle you as a citizen is not excusable either.
Harris was literally choosen by the DNC. She's never won a presidential primary.
