So what you're saying is your fellow Bernie supporters failed to show up in the primaries, and as a result Bernie lost? We finally agree. I guess we're done here then; debate over.
So when republicans benefit from voter disenfranchisement, you're mad, but when democrats benefit from voter disenfranchisement, you're smug. Nice.

I'm not the one defending people staying home as valid reasons. That's you.

Staying home is doing nothing.

Elections regardless have consequences even if one candidates does little as you say to reverse damage (as you allege, Democrats) and the other is actively making things much much worse and openly flirts with doing away with elections entirely for the dear orange leader. (Republicans)

Any rational arguing or defending the idea of letting Republicans win because you think Democrats don't do enough is dumb logic if you truly lean left. There is absolutely no guarantees whatsoever your dreamy wetdream candidate will ever have enough control of the government given what Republicans actively are pushing for which is laws to keep them permanently in power.
Staying home is a form of voting. It's saying "I don't see any candidates worth going to the polls to vote for". Maybe you hate democracy, but I think people should have a choice. If democrats don't want fascism, then they should stop promoting fascist candidates and then portraying themselves as heroes for being the only opposition: https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

Democrats being brain-dead morons has consequences.

Progressives are the minority. Seems like they are the ones that need to make concessions and appeal to others.

And I dont see how "well your just as bad as the right and you arent doing anything so im not voting" isn't a shame tactic.
