It probably cost some votes, but those polls didn’t have the actual reasons people didn’t vote for Harris. That is: she is a woman and she isn’t white. It’s the hard truth but no poll is going to include “are you racist?” or “are you sexist?”

Also, anyone with even part of a brain knew that trump is going to make things a lot worse in Gaza than Harris.

she is a woman and she isn’t white

no, that's not it

trump is going to make things a lot worse in Gaza than Harris

trump being worse doesn't mean Harris and the Democrats aren't complicit in genocide, people just stayed home or voted third party

You answered your own argument with that link. How many female, Muslim heads of state are from the United States on that list? If you honestly think that 6 million Americans stayed home over Gaza you don’t have your finger on the pulse of America. Again, I’m sure votes were lost due to Gaza, but it isn’t the main reason why she lost.

The list is in response to the “Arabs and Muslims didn’t vote for Harris due to misogyny” allegations. Some Arab and Muslim countries have already had female heads of state. Arab Americans are mostly Christian anyways and Muslim Americans tend to be more progressive. Yet it keeps getting mentioned as a reason.
No one expects the US to elect a female Muslim president when it can’t even elect a female white Christian president. Not sure what you were trying to say here.
I don’t know why each and every one of the 6 million stayed home, or voted third party, but I know why certain minorities did. I also know that the Democrats haven’t won an election without minorities’ votes since they have had below 50% support from the white European majority, at least since 2008.
