OUCH, oops, dang, damn, fluck. Harris lost the biggie to Trump. Those slips are too sloppy. Thanks.

"A YouGov poll backed by the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project and released on Wednesday showed that among the 19 million people who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 but did not vote in 2024, nearly a third named Israel’s U.S.-backed war on Gaza as a top reason for staying home.

“The top reason those non-voters cited, above the economy at 24% and immigration at 11%, was Gaza: a full 29% cited the ongoing onslaught as the top reason they didn’t cast a vote in 2024,” wrote Ryan Grim at Drop Site News, the first outlet to report the news.

In states that swung from Biden in 2020 to President-elect Donald Trump in 2024, 20% of non-voters said Gaza was the reason they didn’t cast a ballot in November.
[...]
“Still, even the most biased poll can only manufacture so much of a response,” wrote Grim. “Even if the true numbers aren’t as stark as this survey found, it points in a clear direction: Biden’s ruthless support for Israel’s genocide, and the refusal of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to break with him, hurt her among voters who stayed home.”

Knew it, and said it for months. Kamala didn't have to support an embargo even i'd bet, just had to separate herself from Biden, particularly on Israel.

Israel and disinformation were the two chief reasons Trump won the chair. Damn it.

new polling made it clearer than ever that Vice President Kamala Harris‘ refusal to break with the Biden administration’s position on Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza had an impact on her support from voters, and contributed to millions of potential Democratic voters deciding to stay home on Election Day.

Wait til folks see how that works out.

It was really a "damned if you do or damned if you don't" situation. If she'd have come out against the slaughter, the pro-slaughter side would have gazillion dollars into ads painting her as pro-Hamas.

Fuck 'em all.
