But in reality, the real reason why democrats lost is because the party and majority who support it are quite lazy people. In all stats/online pollings the democrats should have won, but they didn't because only minority actually went to vote. If democrats had the same engagement as conservatives, it would have been an easy win.

The Democrats didn't have a candidate who inspired people to get out and vote. They just keep trying to appeal to some moderate centrist vote which doesn't actually ever materialize. If Harris didn't peddle the exact same anti-immigrant, pro-israel, genocide supporting neoliberal shit and instead advocated for medicare for all, wealth tax, opposition to war, and bringing Israel to heel, she would have absolutely swept the election. That's why the Republicans had a stronger turnout. Trump was offering his base all of the psychotic shit they love. You can't blame voters for not being engaged and getting out to vote when the very best they can hope for is the not-quite-as-bad-as-Trump candidate. That shit does not work. They need to actually give their voters things they want, not just be the lesser evil.
