In a stacked game the only winning move is not to play.
Biden and Harris were in power between 2021 and 2024. They chose to maintain the conditions for Trump to strive again. If it wasn't Trump 2025, then it would have been Trump or another fascist like Trump in 2029. And you would have seen the same rhetorics of "we need to look past and heal". "economy is doing great". "This is the all deciding election, but God forbid you expect us to then provide actual progressive policies or candidates". "We need to reach out to the middle. Oh look we have Dick Cheney wiling to support us. Doesn't matter he is one of the worst war criminals of the 21. Century. After all we made sure to be at least on par with him in the war crime department."
You fall into the trap again that you blame the voters for not putting up with the "lesser of two evils", instead of focusing on the evil that presents two sides of the same coin at every election. Why do you think Schumer and Fetterman and many other Democrats work together with Trumps administration. Because they actually like his policies. They like what he is doing to the country. They like it that he does the dirty work for them and when Democrats come to power again they can keep the new low as status quo. They did this under Biden already with the Wall, Deportations and violent crack downs on peaceful protestors. Obama did this already with running the torture camp in Guantanamo Bay and mass murdering brown people from drones all over the world.
There is no reforming the system from the inside. You have to dismantle it and rebuild it. And in the rebuild there can be no space for almost every of the current US politicians with a (R) or (D) next to their names. They are part of the problem and they oppose being part of the solution
