At risk of sounding like a dreadful centrist, everyone has a point here and here is my proposed solution:
Be actively worried about 2026 election fraud and voter suppression, and also emphasize the importance of voting anyway
This is the best solution for everyone involved, libs and leftists alike

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.
