    People who voted Harris did so because they either thought some other issue was more important or just didn’t care.

    Or realized that Trump would be far worse for the Palestinians than any Democrat has ever been.

      Worse maybe, but not for worse. That said that’s not really what I’m trying to say; my point is that people whose number one issue was Palestine overwhelmingly didn’t vote. Democrats went to vote despite Biden/Harris’s Israel policy, meaning they considered something else to be more important and so they wouldn’t answer this poll with “foreign policy”.

      People keep saying this, but misunderstand why people didn’t vote for Harris over Gaza.

      It doesn’t matter if Trump is worse. People don’t want the Democrats to think this behavior is OK.
