Roughly speaking, the quality of a politician is ranked on their ability to govern, and on their ability to get votes. One or the other isn’t good enough, it has to be both. In Kamala’s case she was marginally better than Trump in one, and marginally worse in the other. Democrats must do much better in both.
As for Israel, there is no reason whatsoever to think it would be any better under Harris. Biden was an ideological Zionist who was never going to put real pressure on Israel. Every indication was that Harris would be more of the same. Trump, through no ideology other than serving his own ego, might have actually done better than either of them ever would have.
A majority of American voters want the US to stop sending any support, military or otherwise, to Israel. Among Democratic voters that rises to 75%. I’m sorry that opposing genocide is too puritanical for your tastes, but you are completely out of touch with what is or isn’t “popular”.
cool, the stat i just looked up from a week ago says only 1/3 of americans disagree with military aid to israeli. and that’s from pew research. 1/3 don’t know, and the other 1/3 think we should support them more.
Mine come from a Quinnipiac poll. No matter what polling you use though, there is a pretty remarkable shift against Israel every time they do another poll. Nobody would have predicted that 1/3 a couple years ago.

95% of Congress is supports israeli. and the 5% that doesn’t is too out there to ever be a popular candidate for the presidency.
but moral purists want to bang on about gaza as if it’s some critical issue
