wasn't there a poll that most american's did in fact support a cease fire i remember a poster who posted it but outside of this the conflict after the election was shown not to be the top reason voters turned out but instead they blamed biden admin for the price of eggs going up
and progressive aren't a monolith ofc most of them will rip on the dems cuz they want their party to be better and have more teeth in their fight against the gop instead of the usual decorum BS which is stupid when you see how the gop wants to throw civility out the window but in the end of the day they vote blue
the ones you are angry are the voters who don't engage in politics and only vote on vibes and how their life is going and note this election tells us if it wasn't for covid which effected americans then the 2020 election would've had trump win again cuz these non engaged voters believe that trump is a genius business man who knows how to make them rich

Sure, most Americans (which to be clear, I mean US citizens) supported a ceasefire, but it was a matter of how vulnerable we were willing to make Israel, and while it's more complicated than I can really speak on in full, Biden cutting funding in Israel followed by more Israeli deaths following October 2023 would have been a central effective attacking point of Trump's campaign. It was only when the election had already been decided that Netanyahu (for now) has seemed to be willing to really come to the table.

You're right progressives aren't a monolith and I hold no contempt whatsoever for the types like AOC who stood by their principles but in no way undercut Biden's or Harris' campaigns.

I'm angry with the progressives who helped set such negative vibes against Biden, when they should have known full well that Project 2025, including our country's role in the climate crisis, our foreign policy, and our democratic institutions, was on the table. They knew the true threats but chose to act upon irresponsible impulse instead.
