I get your position, but at this point in my life I really just believe it’s the party’s responsibility to earn your vote. And if they can’t, because it would cost them more votes in the long run, that’s fine and reasonable. But the onus shouldn’t then be put on the people whose vote they didn’t earn to vote for them anyway. What then is the motivation for them to ever try to earn it?
That’s how Trump got elected in the first place. A lot of establishment Republicans and voters did not like him, but he was the option, so they fell in line. You’re unintentionally promoting the exact same approach that got Trump elected and kept Biden in for so long.

They got themselves a supreme court for their troubles. Wouldn't a lot of progressive causes be in better shape today if they all held their noses and showed up for Hillary and had a left leaning supreme court?
Sure, blame Hillary for not doing a better job. But anyone who didn't vote for her shares in the blame for women not being able to get abortions in a big chunk of the country.
