They demand everything, and if they don't get it, they stay home on election day, let Trump win, and let the world burn. Because that's what a mature and reasonable person does. They stomp their feet, then snatch the ball away and go home.

The amount of people who let perfect be the enemy of better is too damn high

Who is “they”? Because your hypothetical situation is the exact opposite of what happened in Biden v Trump. Plenty of “them” did turn out and vote for Biden even if he’s not their preferred candidate.
