You might be a ratfucker if you attack party brothers/sisters on the eve of an election

119. There is no "unwritten message" to not vote.

Criticism of conservative Dems does not equate to killing enthusiasm for the party in general. That is a made up thing.

Liberals who don't care for third-way politics not only vote and GOTV, but are typically the backbone of every single grassroots effort that helps Democrats.

Dems do not lose elections because liberal Dems are too critical of conservative Dems. The only way that would be true would be if conservative Dems were right about everything, but that is ...

SOMEWHAT UNLIKELY.

And that last bit -- that watching out for Republican fraud is also just a depressing vote killer? That's a genuine bit of ratfucking right there.

You could not invent something more likely for an actual Republican operative to say on a Democratic website than to suggest suspecting Republicans of election fraud is traitorous to Democrats.

There may or may not be election fraud, but the result of watching Republicans in case they attempt election fraud, which a real thing they have actually attempted from time to time, is not "an unwritten message not to vote."
