Aaaaaaand moderators have nuked my comments. Awesome. Any explanation as to why, besides not liking the points I was making?

I would say not voting for the "conservative" in 2024 more directly handed power to the Republicans, no?

You're misremembering.

The Tea Party pushed more conservative candidates in primaries, but in general elections Tea Party voters never sat out in protest - instead, they either supported the GOP candidate or, in a few cases, backed third-party or independent runs, but there were never large-scale abstention.

Trump winning in 2020 being better is a BIG assumption that fails to consider just how bad things could have gone.

Off the top of my head, would things be better right now if we'd had Turkey's levels of inflation? How bad would poverty have gotten? How many people would've died from suicides and extra Covid deaths? Would he immediately have gone into revenge for BLM mode?

There is a level of death and destruction that you are failing to consider.

Also, really consider how this conspiracy to stop Bernie in 2020 is just the centrists making a strategic decision not to split the vote. In the French parliamentary elections, like 200 left-wing and centrist candidates withdrew from the second-round run-off races to avoid splitting the anti-far-right vote —Do you consider what they did to be unethical and a subversion of democracy?

Let's compare leftist strategies of never turning out with the evangelical strategy of driving massive turnouts.

Who has had better success shifting their party?
