Their demand has always been one thing: "Can you stop using my tax money to bankroll the funding of my family/friends/friends' families".

Actually, their demands were much smaller than that. They wanted the DNC to allow a Palestinian to speak at the DNC in order to bring attention to the destruction in Gaza and call for a ceasefire (which is totally in line with Harris' position). The DNC refused, so the Uncommitted movement next asked for Harris to just have a meeting with them to discuss Gaza, and gave her a month to do so. Harris ignored them, so they refused to endorse her. The whole movement was basically, "just make any gesture towards the Palestinian community," and the Harris campaign refused. It really was a massive unforced error on their part.
