they campaigned for Harris and very vocal about the harm of another trump presidency.

Yet here we have an OP blaming a few former Presidents for not speaking out.

Where is the blame to reps that pushed for an 'Uncommitted Vote' and slammed Harris when she became our candidate so late in the game. She was our candidate, our only hope to take the White House and a 'group' that was very vocal at the time seemed to just disappear after her loss. If people don't understand that outside forces were to blame, then they haven't been paying attention.
