"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."

Yes, because harris decided to base her entire campaign on gaslighting the middle class and attacking muslim americans.

if I, a low information voter, have a choice between the guy saying 'the price of eggs is insane' and the lady saying 'the economy is doing great!' while the news is running articles about the massive layoffs happening I'm going to go with the guy telling me what I can literally see with my eyes and wallet.

if I, a muslim voter, who has just seen a year of democratic administration refusing to uphold the laws of this country and supply the weapon to fucking murder my friends and family in gaza. You're damn right I'm not going to vote for you.

If I, a left wing anarchist, am watching all of this and seeing harris refuse to commit to keeping lisa khan on top of literally everything else above and i live in a non-swing state, you're damn right i'm sitting this shit out or voting 3rd party.

this shit isnt hard people. it was the stupidest 6 months i've ever seen from democrats and I've been watching them for 3 decades now. It was never 'democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line' it was always 'democrats vote for working class issues, republican for culture war issues.' sadly the democratic politicians are owned by the 1% so they'll never advance working class initiatives. thus support finally collapsed in a spectacular fasion.
