Sure, but they can still do better. People expect them to.
EDIT: I'm not saying people shouldn't vote for Harris. They should. They have to. But the criticism about her and Biden still supporting Israel the way they do and sending weapons, ammo, vehicles is very much valid. People want them to stop supporting Israel in their unfettered carnage against the Palestinians. We can only hope that when Harris is elected she's gonna pull a 180 and completely stop. And the only reason she's not saying she wants to right now is to not lose a substantial amount of votes from zionists. At least that's what I hope. But in the meantime, the genocide is still happening. People are still being murdered. Soon there won't be anyone left to defend and it'll be too late.
EDIT 2: I don't know why people assume that by simply criticizing Harris on her support for Israel, people are saying not to vote for her. That's not even the point. Get a grip.
People are extra sensitive about Harris/Israel criticism because of the extensive "don't vote for genocide!" astroturfing campaigns flooding social media to discourage left voter turnout in swing states. This is going to be a fucking close election and anything that even obliquely discourages left voter engagement is going to get side eye until we're past the election.
Also, re: Israel:
That's our Israel foreign policy in a nutshell and we really should do better. Hopefully once the Kissinger fans all die out we will.
