I'd say it's obvious that some members of the establishment are paying attention and learning.

They have learned that liberals can't be bothered to vote and will always find an excuse not to vote

Then they (you) actually haven't learned a damn thing. Hell, even fucking James Carville is suddenly saying that Bernie had it right.

Harris spent the last month+ of her campaign bragging about support from CEOs, promising to put a Republican in her cabinet, and touring with Liz Cheney. The idea that she made a real effort to engage liberals and leftists is pure fiction.

Even saying it's liberals and leftists that didn't show up is wrong. Leftists are the most reliable voters in the country. It's working class Americans that didn't show up for Harris or voted for Trump. Leftists tell the establishment how to get working class voters, the establishment ignores them, working class voters stay home, then the establishment blames leftists.
