Everybody who didn't vote uncommitted in the primaries to protest against having Biden pushed down onto people by the DNC. Everybody who defended voting for Biden and lying about his mental state, when there has been plenty of videos where Biden clearly was not at the mental capacities needed to be president another 4 years.
Everybody who immediately jumped on the Harris bandwagon, instead of demanding proper primaries, so the DNC and candidate can actually get in touch with the problems of normal people, instead of the interests of their billionaire donors.
Everybody who didn't demand the Democrats to stop the support for the genocide in Gaza immediately and tried to justify genocide with "well this is the less of two genocides, so it's okay."
Everybody that celebrated billionaire celebrities like Taylor Swift coming out in favor of Harris, like these billionaires aren't part of the same oligarchy that is fucking over normal people. Everybody that didn't tell the fucking war criminal muss murder scumbags that are the Cheneys to fuck right off and get the people thrown out of Harris campaign, that had this ingenious idea.

If you made a Venn-Diagram there would be a lot of overlap in the middle, but all of these aspects contributed to the Democrats consistently alienating voters.
