Because we did vote for Biden and he was useless at preventing the spread of fascism in states, and then Harris's responses to how she would handle any of it, which was effectively "I will do nothing." The Democrats made the left apathetic to the electoral system by refusing to appeal to them and instead the democrats focused on trying to sway republicans and moved further right. The Democrats did the worst thing they could have done and made people apathetic and hopeless.

Useless at preventing fascism... So decided to sit it out and give DT another go. Bold strategy. Let's see how it works out.

You can keep bitching about how its everyone else's fault why we are in the situation we are in. You aren't the people I see at the antifascist rallies, or out on the street trying to organize grassroots systems to protect our queer community, or doing anything. Yall are the type of people who start and stop at the voting booth. Too busy shilling politicians who refuse to do what the people want to do anything that actually helps people. Don't accuse people who voted third party or didn't vote for the situation we are in, cause you don't know that they do nothing. They very well could be doing more than you to make a difference.

Like playing Russian roulette with five live rounds.
