Democrats aren't losing, they've over performed in just about every election since 2020. The party has grown more left wing in recent years but obviously work still needs to be done. Virtually every progressive in government will endorse Biden for reelection. There was no significant primary challenge against him.

If you don't vote you aren't participating in an election where you can influence the outcome. In reality the statement you make by sitting out is that you don't care what happens.

There are valid criticisms you could make of Biden especially over how he has handled the Gaza war. But pretending that you're enlightened by not voting and effectively helping Trump is not an effective strategy in the long term.

Because he did not have the best campaign staff and the Democratic party establishment preferred other candidates. His base was mostly young white people or college students who don't turn out to vote enough.

Definitely look into Next DNS. There are also some Safari extensions that can block ads.

I also suggest buying refurbished unlocked phones in the future instead of going for the carrier freebies which you can see are scams designed to lock you into paying for their overpriced service each month for over a year.

15 year old kids are probably capable of cashier work so long as they aren't overworked and it doesn't get in the way of school. It is not particularly dangerous like certain factory jobs could be, and is legal in most cases if the child has a parent's permission.

The child in the photo does not look like he is 15 years old though, probably closer to 10-11 which generally is too young to be working.
