    why was only Harris punished for it

    Trump: “I’m doing genocide.”

    Harris: “I’m also doing genocide.”

    Palestinians: “I can’t vote for either of these two.”

    Liberals: “Well then, I guess you deserve the genocide you get.”

      Wasn’t this specifically against Harris? I get why they were against Harris, I just don’t know why they were only “Abandon Harris” instead of abandoning the whole process or what have you.

        The turnout for Democrats plunged between 2020 and 2024. A big chunk of that came from liberal Midwesterners staying out of the election entirely because they had no candidate to support in the race.
