The majority of people who didn't vote for Harris don't care about Gaza. They're just larping on the internet.
She wasn't a zionist and wanted to end the war. It was a clear cut decision, but it was a brown and black sacrifice people were willing to make for their moral purity.
I was ready to demand my Lefty comrades go vote for Kamala: after all, one Genocide is better than two genocides.
But then she came out "tough on the border" and took that from me. She promised to be every bit as hard as Trump.

But she worked HARD to alienate the Left. She took every piece of rhetoric I had and shat on it.
So we have Kamala caving on Gaza with rhetoric (and walking it back)

But flatly refusing to do anything:

Just like the Liberal Party. Promise almost nothing, make a symbolic gesture, do actually nothing.

So when she gets no support, why are Clinton Neoliberal, Reaganomics-poisoned-but-polite Liberals surprised? This is the Country they designed, on purpose.
Citation? Because any time I saw anything indicating that, she IMMEDIATELY walked it back. And I've cited (shitty) sources.
I dug through my comment history to find this. It has plenty of links.
No Bernie's campaign and Warren's campaign drove Biden to the left on a whole host of issues, including labor unions.
Don't lie.
This comment said it best and lists calls for a ceasefire from Harris.

Harris promised to do everything in her power to end the war in Gaza.

Unlike Biden, Harris was not a life long Zionist.

Harris wasn't perfect. And that was simply not good enough for some people who didn't want to risk their hands getting dirty. Even if it meant the Palestinians becoming the cost of doing business.
Good for you. I appreciate it. No need to spread propaganda though.
You may have missed the "No daylight, kid." thing it seems.
What does that have to with anything? Harris was never under any obligation to follow that instruction once she became president.
Which would mean accepting a lie, thereby completely undermining calls for context or saying statements are being misquoted.
They are being misquoted. That was a Biden quote used to say that Harris had the same position Biden. Which is a lie.
Harris had distinct positions on Israel. Biden telling her to have the same positions doesn't mean she had the same positions.
Sure. Though we can't quite know if even that's true as she did not become president.
Was still pretty much the biggest self-sabotaging way of communicating that sentiment in the campaign.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. We cannot look into an alternate timeline.
Former presidents do not have power over current presidents.
We can look at her public statements. And those compared to this make it clear Biden was definitely worse

Biden's been derailing US foreign policy on the Israel since he was vp.
Yes.
