I've seen interviews with people from those groups saying things like I wish I had the luxury of being able to only support the perfect candidate who aligned with all my views.
Sure, blame Harris if she loses. But if a progressive left white guy college student doesn't vote for her and/or organizes others not to vote for her over this or another progressive issue, then they have basically turned their backs on all those groups.

This is what really bugs me about the hardline protestors, they claim to want equality but put Palestinian lives above all others. People in the LGBTQ community will have to endure massive persecution if Trump gets back in power, and they would likely face imprisonment or death if they even set foot in a place like Gaza, but apparently their lives aren't as important politically
