Totally reasonable to ask and agitate against and demand and primary and confront Democrats who support genocide. Democrats should have done better and are still not doing enough.
The important question is: would fewer Palestinians have died if Harris was president? It’s horrible, and utilitarian, and it shouldn’t be that way, and even one dying is one too many, but one fewer is worth the moral stain.

Who knows? I doubt it. The Gaza situation is the only thing that Trump’s handling better than Biden. There have been two ceasefires since his administration started, and that’s two more than we would’ve gotten with Biden.
It’s possible that Harris could’ve negotiated a ceasefire, but she gave no indication to the voters that she would be any better than Biden on Gaza (or anything), so they had no way to know that, and it’s just idle speculation at this point. She seemed so spineless on this issue, it’s hard to imagine her standing up to Netanyahu.
There were two ceasefires (24 November 2023 – 11 January 2024 and 19 January 2025 – 17 March 2025) negotiated in the Biden administration, and one during the Trump administration (the current ceasefire).
It’s also pretty clear that Netanyahu wanted Trump to be president instead of Harris, along with most Isralis. I kind of doubt Netanyahu would be advocating for a president that would be less advantageous to him politically.
Israel does this with every ceasefire. However, fewer people are being killed now and they are allowing aid in. It’s not nearly enough, but it’s not nothing, either. It’s a move in the right direction.
would fewer Palestinians have died if Harris was president
Arguably, yes. Between Trump and Harris, she’s the only one who has expressed regret about the genocide. Trump seems very happy with turning a blind eye.

Maybe biden and harris shouldn’t have played into his hands, then.
Trump’s ceasefires are fake, Israel breaks them with no consequences.

Well Harris could have negotiated a ceasefire easily if fake ones clear the bar.
