I'm already seeing posts to the effect of "Biden could have ended the war a year earlier" which is true, but it is taken to mean that this is Biden's fault, which is false. Harris didn't say anything different. No leader in the Democratic Party said anything different. Ordinary voters kept saying that they knew genocide was happening but we had to vote for it anyways. What do you call someone who doesn't turn against a system when that system offers no choice except genocide?

This isn't complicated. Genocide is the greatest political evil there is. Now and then, people follow a foolish line of thought "what do you think you'd do while the Nazis rose?" People who told me to vote Democratic should think about that. As the Nazis rose, they were telling everyone to vote for genocide. I can't think of any better way to demolish widespread resistance against rising Nazis. What moral authority does the so-called resistance have?
