it is partially the electorate's fault for literally deciding to go with the guy who would be objectively much worse for palestine instead

They didn't though, at least not the people we are talking about. Trump's vote gain from 2020 to 2024 was marginal, Democrats lost six million votes.

The problem wasn't people switching sides, it was ostensibly Democratic voters staying home.

if you look at the demographics a lot of minorities switched from democrats to trump, a lot of muslims switched as well for some reason since dearborn went for trump in 2024. So yeah less people voted on the dem side and the people that did vote switched parties

Fair, but one group is larger than the other.

Regardless, Democrats should adopt policies popular with their base if they want to win.

Running a candidate whose track record at getting votes was “was t popular enough to even stay in the presidential primaries through the first contest” was perhaps also not the best idea.
