he did not endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 general election, and he did not endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 general election.

Kuttner's approach to Democratic presidential nominees is something that he calls "critical co-existence": voting for what he characterizes "the lesser of two evils", leveraging pressure campaigns against Democrats, and relentlessly criticizing Democrats from his very public bully pulpit. Kuttner one of those Democratic Party critics for whom nothing we do is ever good enough, or indeed even good.

FWIW Kuttner also heavily criticized UN Security Council Resolution 2803 on its passage (even though there were 13 Security Council votes in favor and none against), and, because he is a purist and an ideologue, Kuttner sees the UN's pragmatic approach as nothing short of "grotesque".

Because he is not experienced in any way in international diplomacy, Kuttner likely doesn't realize that taking the first steps by no means guarantees that the final steps will also be taken. He doesn't care that there is no alternative and that the people of Gaza are living in limbo. That anyone takes his "nothing is better than something" approach to an international crisis seriously is bewildering at best.
