You had the choice between bad and worse. not an appealing choice. but everyone knew those who liked the orange monkey would go vote. so not voting, in protest against bad is a vote for worse.
so yes, the democrats in usa have lost the connection to their base. however, this doesn't give anyone able to vote, the right to blame them for an elected baboon.
"You were handed a choice by the same system committing genocide, it's on you to unquestioningly accept that choice and not seek any alternative, thereby guaranteeing all manner of crimes against humanity will continue indefinitely. I think this because I'm incapable of understanding that both parties supporting genocide completely discredits any theory about their political independence."
You seeked an alternative, turns out the alternative is Trump. Do you feel good about what you have found? Are you capable of admitting to yourself that seeking of alternative would be better if there was a little less unhinged fascism?
This is what some people call "slave talk". The oppressed chiding each other for the actions of the oppressors, whether or not they're even responsible (in this case, they categorically are not). You're doing their work for them, for free.
