Blue conservatives are desperate to blame their failures on something or someone else. They don't want to change, even if the future of the country depends on it. They prefer trump being president to changing.

Blue MAGA out in force
How dare you not get wholly genocided in time for the election
I'm sad to see this, because they shouldn't be. It's the 20 million people who voted 4 years ago who didn't this time around. They didn't vote at all, regardless of president, so there's really no specific group to blame.
You can't blame the Harris campaign for not getting voters to vote for local elections. Ranked choice initiatives didn't pass, because people didn't vote for them. Republicans got Senate because people didn't vote against them. No one had to vote for president, but they surely could have voted at all.
We can and should blame the Harris campaign.
People can vote for local elections and not vote for a president. There's often local measures and ballots that make meaningful change, such as ranked choice. Which failed. Because people didn't vote for it.
Enthusiasm for a president should not affect your local elections when the local elections are specifically meant to change how you vote for the president. Among other things, at least. Not having ranked choice was the thing everyone was complaining about, no one showed up to vote for it.
