The Vatican criticised the Nazis as well, but it didn't stop Hitler. The problem is that the cat is out of the bag when it comes to far-right in America. The only way to stop the movement is to counter it politically. But the Democratic Party is either too spineless or simply does not care, or both. They would rather lose to Trump than to move further left.

By your same logic, these super smart "leftists" would rather Donald Trump usher in fascism than the rest of us not move further left.

I am not going to explain this to an American for the umpteenth time, the truth of the matter is that, outside of American sensibilities, the Democrats are not leftists. The rest of the world see Democrats as centre right by virtue of their policies. If you put the Democratic Party in Europe, they will have more in common with the conservative German CDU and centrist neoliberal French president Macron.

But they would be a move to the left (coming from the current state, which is Republicans).

But apparently most American voters do not want to move left, not even an inch.

Or elitists that make something significantly less bad impossible because they can't have blood on their hands.

The people who didn't vote have more blood on their hands than the ones who voted for Kamala. Basic practicality for the common good is disappearing, just like the capitalists wanted to achieve with their think tank wedge issues and culture wars.
