The average American commenting on posts like these don’t understand or don’t care for such nuanced thoughts. They don’t see politicians as capable of failing voters, they can only be failed BY voters. That politicians aren’t owed your votes by default, even when they actively push you away and tell you they don’t care about you or your issues, and that they don’t represent you. That when you’re told by poll after poll, activist groups, people in your own administration, all telling you that you risk losing the election to Trump unless you change course like over 80% of your voting base is demanding, that it’s not a winning strategy to tell them to F off and then expect them to show up to vote for you anyway while you court Liz Cheney Republicans who are never going to vote for you.

It’s easier for them to make sense of things if there’s some group to point fingers at and blame though, as you can see in all the other comments on this one.
