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.

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.
