DNC leadership fundamentally misunderstands that if you want a bloc to vote for you then you need to modify your platform to appeal to that bloc instead of depending on fearmongering about your opponent to get votes from people who are opposed to your platform as it stands because it's very nearly as terrible and leads to the same outcome.

Don't blame leftists for not having a dog in this race. Blame the party for treating us like free votes and shaming us when we don't turn out for their smug corporate asses.

In a first past the post system you're stuck voting against your least preferred candidate, not for your most preferred one. It's a shitty system but its what we have.
