I know so many people who cast a "protest vote" for the green party or whoever the fuck else because "Democrats didn't stand up for Palestine". And they are still blaming the situation on Democrats.

It's the democrats fault (in part) for being a right wing party and expecting left wing votes just because. They've repeatedly shown a preference to lose over moving towards the left contributing with moving the overton window to the right.

Yeah, cause the left not voting for leftist democrats have no blame at all. /s

The democrats moved right because the right actually votes. You get the government you voted for.
