It's more about holding the dems accountable. They are supposed to represent their constituents, instead they chose to represent genocide to the point of losing an election against trump of all people.
The bad guys in all this are ultimately the ones that enabled genocide and not the voters who abstained (other then trump and his fanatics obviously). The democratic party basically aimed for a low turn out and if we aren't critical of them, we will get the exact same energy next time.
I toed the line and voted strategically but the whole time, I was asking myself what the fuck they were thinking. Now that it's over, I can't really blame normal people that were conflicted about genocide.
It didn’t hold Dems accountable. It got Trump elected because that was the intent all along.
There are many constituents that support Israel. As you pointed out yourself it is a politicians job to represent those constituents.
The bad guys in this are the bad faith actors that use Gaza to justify helping Trump get elected.
They ALL claim they voted for Harris while in the same breath spreading FUD towards Harris.
