We can’t rule out the decisiveness of this issue based on the contents of this thread. I have seen enough other polling about low engagement/infrequent voters to have convinced me throroughly that those folks who might have turned out, but did not favored Trump because they thought he would be better on the economy.
Even that, I admit, does not mean there was not some way for Harris to come out against Israel and distance herself from Biden that would have managed to motivate a subset of low engagement voters who weren’t that concerned about the economy, were concerned primarily about Gaza, and large enough to be decisive, but we’re getting pretty thin thin with the should/could/would haves here.
Some pedantry from me.
