And people in the community were warning for months that this was the consequence of refusing to denounce genocide

And they were told, repeatedly, that Trump would be worse. Guess what happens now?

But somehow you only want to blame the racial and religious out group who can’t even be credibly blamed for losing the election.

Trump improved his margin across nearly every single demographic, so there's plenty of blame to go around. But in a comment thread about Muslim voters feeling buyer's remorse, I'm not going to talk about the white men who get fed shit from the manosphere podcast space, or the ghost of Phyllis Schlafly infecting women across this country to vote for the party that wants to take their rights away, or that when Trump was talking about Latino immigrants he was talking about them and not those other immigrants. It's called "context."

You guys were claiming for months they weren’t important and should be ignored

Nope, didn't say that. I said that when your choice is token lip service about maybe stopping Palestinian genocide, and making the genocide worse, that you should vote for the former, because otherwise you'll get the latter. Which is what happened. Congratulations, you told the Dems you weren't going to vote for them, and now are surprised they ignored what you wanted.

I personally agreed with undecided in principle and was sympathetic that Harris largely ignored them. The problem is that trying to leverage their position for actual good policy outcomes made for this nasty prisoner's dilemna situation where both parties chose the bad option.

I honestly thought that they'd eventually come around because of just how bad Trump was going to be for democracy, and moreover for the people they cared about. Sadly, they were so devoted to their game of chicken that some of their loved ones will pay for it.

I also don't think it's that callous to engage in a little bit of "I fucking told you so."

Most people I saw here were just trying to achieve the most favourable outcome, given the reality at the time.

but despite being marginalized as small and unimportant for months are now being covered as the post facto cause of failure,

Where are they blamed for the failure of the campaign here, again?

without anyone even recognizing that this was being predicted by Democratic party members well in advance as the obvious result of just trying to ignore the genocide.

The obvious result was that a not-insignificant part of the country is stupid enough to vote for 'more genocide' instead of less?
