If they voted for Biden in 2020 expecting things to get better, why would they vote for the same platform again when they saw everything get worse under his admin? What enthusiasm existed?

It turns out "you have to accept you won't get anything you want and vote for us anyway and then next time we'll give you what you want" actually does only work so many times in a row.

Democrats are Lucy holding the football but they're so fucking bad at politics Charlie brown actually figured out that she was gonna yank the ball away from him again this time.

I think you can enrich the picture by realizing that liberal democracy as a form of governance, in its entirety, is Lucy, and by being satisfied with voting Trump instead of revolting Charlie has yet to realize the football has once again been yanked away.
