        Considering how many enlightened geniuses said that they just couldn’t vote for Harris over Gaza… I don’t actually think that’s a safe assumption.

          michiganers protest voted against her, i think thats the place that had the most effect on her votes, everywhere else is less affected by foreign policy issues.

          michagan is important because it has large muslim population, but not all muslims like palestinians, its another history behind that too.

            Not voting Harris was voting to strip trans rights, destroy jobs with tarrifs, entrench fascist federal judges for a generation, major intensification in climate change ,help the genocide in Ukraine, greatly help the genocide in Gaza.

            I put the blame squarely on the non voter.

            Edit: vote Harris in THEN protest for better changes.

            And did helping Trump win helped, right? He definitely put a stop to the Israeli aggression.

            Absolutely.

            Unfortunately, as a result of Trump’s win, expressing that specific opinion can get you deported.

      alot of conservatives do that, yes many dont vote at all because they cant be bothered, those are the low info voters. there are al group that will not vote for any reason simply because of jury duty summons. some people cant afford 1 day or a few weeks off, and JD doesnt compensate for your loss income, its “pathetically just giving change to homeless people”, and employers arnt legally required to do so other either, because its on the courts to pay.
