People also seem to forget that Kamala had no primary to prove her chops, and had to work with less time to campaign due to Biden's stupidity. While not a great candidate, she got fucked over by the DNC's myopic habit of anointing candidates.
She also had Biden financially backing a genocide, with no pushback from her, to contend with.
It's hard to say how much that was a factor. We know that the campaign's staff were instructed to record voter concerns about Gaza as "no response," but independent polling organizations found that most voters ranked the issue well below the usual, immigration and the economy. IIRC, only in Michigan was the number of protest voters high enough to perhaps swing the election.
People just actively didn't go vote, all across the country.
