    There are absolutely more Jewish voters in PA than there are people who abstained in protest over the Palestinian genocide. Michigan has a more concentrated Arab population, but you’re right that they aren’t why Harris lost.

      I mean, Liberals have literally no evidence whatsoever that Palestine abstainers would have made a dent in the 10-15 million votes needed to win, yet that hasn’t stopped them from blaming the left in every thread.

      I’d be willing to bet that stating “the economy is doing great” while tens of millions of people are significantly poorer than they were 4 years ago was more to blame than anything. People are fed up and want revolutionary change. Trump promised them a revolution. Even if it’s in the worst way possible, they still voted for it.
