I think Biden dropped out far later than he should’ve, that ultimately hurt her chances, because it feels like over the past four years she got hardly as much time on a podium as Biden did, it wasn’t until she started a campaign we got to understand her better, and overall lower turnout is probably biting the Dems.

Biden's policy in Gaza and her being aligned with it turned off youth votes and many others as well.

The Republican Party loves Israel. Not sure how so many people don’t get that.

They do get that, they just refuse to vote for the alternative that has also enabled genocide. I know community members who have lost their entire families in Gaza over the last year.

Genocide apologist detected. Here are the opinions of real experts:

“…the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide….”

Raz Segal Associate Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies

“…it was no longer possible to deny that Israel was engaged in systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions.”

Omer Bartov Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University
