“From 2020 to 2024, Democrats saw a staggering dropoff in support at the presidential level, with some 19 million people who voted for Joe Biden staying home (or not mailing in their ballots) in 2024. Now, a new survey conducted by YouGov suggests Biden’s support for Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza played a surprisingly large role in the choice of those previous Biden supporters not to vote.”

    Shocking - the Dem’s extremely unpopular and immoral support of Israel’s genocide had consequences. That said, Kamala ran a perfect campaign and should have changed nothing.
