Yes. The problem is that liberals who are upset and appalled by the way things are going simply don't vote rather than vote for a non-Democrat. (And the same applies to conservative voters who are upset and appalled by the Republicans.)

I see this same, self-reported behavior from voters in similar party breakdowns in the UK and elsewhere ... party-affiliated voters regularly express extreme unhappiness with their own side on Twitter and other sites, but write that they will sit the election out, since they can't vote for their party's candidate but also can't bring themselves to vote for the "other side."
The problem with this approach is that neither the Democrat nor the Republican parties interpret low turnout as an indication that their tribe is unhappy with them. Sure, they'd rather "their people" vote for them, but as long as they're not voting for their opponents, all is good.
So far Republican turnout seems to be incredibly high, just look at Georgia. The question is will elected Republicans actually do anything. It seems to me Republicans voters want a Desantis, but nationally the the GOP doesn't have an appetite for escalation.

We really need DeSantis. The Republican party should just end itself if it doesn't fight for reality over Gender Ideology.
Sadly, you are correct
