Gaza and the border were two big issues where Biden and democrats at large were notably not progressive.

And, as you might imagine, funding a genocide is something that's really hard to stomach no matter how good Lina Khan was.

It also really didn't help that Kamala and her brother, where they did promise changes, it was to eliminate Khan and double down on prosecuting "transnational criminal organizations". They notably made a hard pivot from what was initially a somewhat progressive message to one of Kamala campaigning with Liz Cheney and celebrating the endorsement of a war criminal, Dick Cheney.
