Yeah, but you're saying this about somebody who has committed that very sin, of condemning Biden because of disagreement on a hot button topic. Who then turns around and begs for help when the predictable happened. Isn't that somewhat hypocritical?
Are you saying it is hypocritical for him to campaign for the people in Gaza under Biden, and then continue to campaign for the people in Gaza under Trump? That's the opposite of hypocrisy.
It is ironic that he condemned Biden because of a genocide and they both lost, and now you are condemning him because of a genocide.
It is hypocritical for him to say that costing Biden votes is “campaigning for Gaza,” then translate that over into costing Kamala Harris votes even though she’s not the one who’s been making these genocide-friendly decisions, then suddenly be panicked that Trump is clearly going to make things quite a bit worse and it may be the total end of his country and his ethnicity on the planet. That was the totally predictable result of his method of “campaigning for Gaza,” and many, many people told him that, and got accused of being pro-genocide shills for the Democrats.
If his movement had campaigned for Gaza in pretty much any other way, or if he had come out and admitted now that they fucked up and asked for help in pressuring the Trump administration or the global community, this wouldn’t be posted here.
The uncommitted movement backed Harris. While not officially endorsing her they urged voters to vote against Trump and not vote third party.
Which leaves voting for Harris, without saying the words, "vote for Harris."

What's your point here?
My point is that if the child isn’t vaccinated, and then dies of whooping cough, the uncle who put together a whole organized program to educate the family about the dangers of vaccines bears a lot responsibility for the tragedy.
Yes, even more so than the pharmaceutical companies who lost the people’s trust through their actions.
It would still be a heartbreaking loss if it was just Palestine that’s going to be lost. But the scale of the global tragedy is going to be much greater than just this man’s country. He’s helped to doom, not just his own family, but millions of other people’s families who weren’t even involved.
So you blame him for all of the protest voting that happened? As if people couldn't read the news articles themselves?
He gave the Democrats a chance to realize what lay down that road. He wasn't the one who ignored the voters and in your analogy he also laid out the dangers of not vaccinating and made a doctor's appointment that Mom didn't take the kids to.
