You should not judge someone only on one criteria. Genocide in Gaza is much much better than genocide in Gaza and poor economy, deteriorating democracy, etc.
Don’t forget climate change and justice for working people.
Oh, and attempted genocide in Ukraine.
Oh, and also, that one of the central problems the Democrats have is that their consultants constantly lie to them about what will work to win elections, what the American people think, what policies are “popular” and things like that. The idea that if we just keep not voting for them, they’ll figure it out and stop supporting genocide so they can win elections again, is incredibly unlikely. All the Palestinians will be dead before it works. It is mired in a kind of “my only input to the system is voting” mindset which is pretty much guaranteed to failure. Very few people in Washington give a shit if people stop voting as a “protest” movement or w/e, they love it, it helps them consolidate their hold on power with even less input from the humane segments of the public.
If you wanted justice for Palestinian people there are about 50 things on the list that you could take vigorous action on that would produce some measurable chance of good outcomes, whereas with these guys it always seems to begin and end with not voting for Democrats. The only impact of which will be an increase in suffering and death of which there was already no shortage at all.
