Not voting for a democrat you mean? I think leftists would vote for a left wing candidate if you Dems can ever bring yourself to nominate one for President. Otherwise it’s just more of the same.
Most non-voters I know just feel entirely hopeless that any election will lead to improvement. I always vote (and always for a 3rd party), but I’ve stopped giving my non-voting friends a hard time. As one of them said: “I don’t vote for the head of the KKK either!”
My exact point. NYC, a place that actually has leftists that vote, has now moved left past the DNC. The DNC is the stepping stone to go further left. This is only possible in NYC because of voting.
I feel like not voting is the single greatest help fascism has ever received.

Cornel West ran, non-voters exist because they are happy with either front runner winning. If they wanted neither then they would protest vote.

They never will if leftists don’t start voting.

Yes, but candidates will never appeal to a base that doesn’t vote. What is special about NYC is that there is no room for right wing propaganda.
