I understand what you mean, but the number of Americans who care about Gaza for it to impact their vote wasn't clear. Everyone (including me, admittedly) thought the economy was the main reason Harris lost and everything else came after, so this is new information.
I dunno, any attempt I ever made to engage in the discourse around her stance on Gaza was tiring and alienating. Even stating that she was the lesser of two evils and that I’d vote for her didn’t stop people from dismissing me as a Russian bot, or a bad faith actor who’s merely trying to hurt the momentum of her campaign.
The ‘swallow the genocide or democracy gets it’ crowd didn’t make the issue go away; they just made it silent.
Gaza is not a small topic right now. In a political landscape where Donald Trump thinks it’s important to make a pretense of being anti-war, the democrats genuinely supporting the worst kind of war was always going to be bad for them.
