For almost a year I’ve been saying that if Trump wins, Dems will condemn Hamas for it. Their reaction to their 2016 failure shows that they’ll blame anyone but themselves. They’ll even make up conspiracy theories to blame, like Russian bots.
I don't get this logic. If you were thinking about voting for Harris at all in the first place, voting for a third party is equivalent to voting for Trump. Does anyone actually think Trump is better for Palestine (or Muslims anywhere, or anything at all) than a Democrat? If you weren't think about voting for Harris, then this whole cutting support thing means nothing to you already. I don't think anyone should feel good about voting for Harris, but she seems like the only sane option right now, even though she supports genocide (like Trump)
Moral reasons aside, if a political party thinks it can rely on your support unconditionally, then you’ve lost all political leverage, and it will walk all over you. If your vote has no red lines, you’ve made yourself irrelevant.
Uncommitted, Abandon Biden, and the Muslim & Palestinian communities made it clear what the Democrats had to do to get their votes, and they chose not to do it. They chose to continue aiding & abetting a genocide.
"At this time, our movement 1) cannot endorse Vice President Harris; 2) opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing; and 3) is not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system," the statement continued.

Genocide isn't sane.
Both are genocidal, letting the DNC get away with genocide solidifies their position. That's the logic, that the DNC can get away with literal genocide as long as they aren't the GOP, and in the eyes of Liberals, that's correct.
I mean, this is just asking them to be ok with being illegally deported by the GOP when Project 2025 hits its stride after a Trump win.
I won't even bother explaining why the reasoning itself is stupid, as OP obviously won't engage honestly and cry genocide (which, to be clear, it is one, but the cold hard fact is that there are other things at play here outside of just Palestine).
