Didn't really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it's just people preaching to the choir.
Focusing on these people was an unhealthy obsession, and most of the attempts to reach them were needlessly adversarial to the point of being toxic and hardening their resolve to not vote for Harris. Gaza was a losing issue for Harris and this attention just kept it front and center. Sad to see the obsession continue.
Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don't vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great.
Adding in an edit: downvote it all you want, you know it's true. Hell, in his last election he DID lose the popular vote. Some democracy. More voters, actual people who took the time and effort to go and actually vote, wanted a different president, and got shown their votes don't matter unless they live in a swing state.

Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don't vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she ~~kept telling struggling families that the economy is great~~ has a vagina.
Fixed that for you.
Also she didn't lose the pop vote by a huge margin. 3 million people is literally 1 percent of the population.
If this were a democracy and pop vote mattered, there are probably 10x that number of people who would have actually voted. Then I'd guess she would have won. Look at (greater area) Chicago. 9.5m people. 12 million people total in IL. how many Illinoisans didn't vote because why does it matter? About 2 million probably.
Disclaimer: That last paragraph was obviously arbitrary.
Stop blaming vaginas for not getting votes
I will. When misogyny goes away.
I will. When women can control their own bodies lmfao.
I can keep going but. Shut the hell up man.
Our household didnt like Harris explicitly because of Gaza so... No. We're also in a safe state to vote 3rd party so it didn't matter anyway. Down ballot blue passed for us at least.
