This has been common for so long and 2020 was a fluke with voter turnout. You're totally right here, people did just not vote but it's also a result of not giving people incentives that get them to vote. Voting isn't really easy in much of the US, especially for those working long hours at the start of the holiday season. Biden ran on stimmy checks and student loan forgiveness, Harris ran on small business tax incentives and building a wall. Just like with plastics, it's easy to look at individual blame here and get upset with the people who didn't vote but it's the system that made them not want to vote.
Trump ran on "I'm going to be a dictator" and a third of Americans didn't consider that reason enough to vote.
Because they voted away the problem in the past right? Hell, it doesn't even matter that a third of American's didn't vote because most of them live in like 4 states. You say that as if it has any real measurable weight when in reality it is a handful of states that had maybe a million or two combined not participate. The type of base you could inspire instead of parading around you're endorsed by a war criminal.
