Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I'll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

Because we always vote for the lesser of two evils, we now have a system where candidates can be as evil as they want as long as the other candidate is more evil. There is no incentive to be anything except slightly less ghoulish than the other person. And even then, they can usually get away with being more ghoulish than the other person if it fits well enough into the current bigoted zeitgeist.
