Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov.
So a lot of people are angry at them for letting Harris lose because they held on to their anti-genocide moral high ground; they should've sucked it up and voted for her because the alternative was so much worse. Allegedly, if Harris had broken with Biden to denounce genocide, she would have lost too many voters.
So who the fuck were those people?! Let's unpack this. If Harris were to oppose genocide, and they were to get angry, the same argument would apply to them: Suck it up and vote for her, or you're supporting the destruction of democracy. And if they stayed home anyway, then it would mean that they'd rather see Harris lose than ease up on genocide. "Keep sending bombs to kill kids, or we'll let women and LGBTQ people suffer, by God!"
Do such monsters exist in our midst? I dunno, seems to me like they'd already be voting for the guy who allegedly would genocide harder. But if they exist, it makes a lot more sense to be angry at them.

The real issue is Biden shouldn't have been materially supporting genocide in the first place
Then Harris wouldn't have needed to decide to break with his administration or not.
